Kane recalled his history with Chelsea, having faced them 22 times in all competitions while playing for Tottenham, winning seven times and scoring eight goals. He also mentioned the rivalry between Tottenham and Chelsea during his time with the latter, which he described as a "good rivalry" that led to many intense matches.
Kane, who captained the English national team, said that playing against Premier League teams comes with an added expectation, which motivates him to perform better. This is evident in his statement, "There's always a little more expectation around the game. Maybe the Chelsea fans don't like me as much, and when we play Arsenal, maybe the Arsenal fans don't like me as much." This extra motivation, combined with the familiarity of facing English teams, brings a special energy to the game.
Kane has been impressive in his time at Bayern, scoring 93 goals in 101 games across all competitions. He expressed surprise at his record, saying, "I don't think I expected it. I always back myself to score goals, but I didn't know how it would go." He attributed his success to the style of play at Bayern, which suits him well, and his current level of confidence and physical and mental strength.
Kane also addressed comments from Bayern's powerbroker, Uli Hoeness, who suggested that the team might be underdogs in Europe this year. Kane disagreed, stating that as a six-time Champions League winner, Bayern has an expectation to win the competition, and not performing well would be disappointing.
