Kane was asked Tuesday at a press conference if he felt the same desire to prove Arsenal’s wrong. He said, “It was probably one of my biggest matches of all time. We played them twice every year over the past 10 years, and there was never a dull moment.
I was the kind of player, who throughout my entire career had things to prove. This is something you never forget. It’ll be part of my DNA up until retirement.
There will always be reasons to prove people wrong, or prove myself capable of doing something. I no longer think back and say, “I was freed when I was nine years old. I have to do more tomorrow.”
Now that I am here, it is all about winning the Champions League. Naturally, I have a history with them [Arsenal]But all I can try to do is help Bayern Munich make it into the Champions League semi-final.”

Thomas Tuchel is convinced that the greater experience of his Bayern team in competition will give them an edge over their rivals ahead of the second leg on Wednesday.
Arsenal is playing in the Champions League after seven years, and has not been to the semi-finals since 2009.
Bayern, six-time champions of this competition, last won it in 2020. However they lost in the quarterfinals in the three previous seasons.
Tuchel claimed that his team had a “slight advantage” due to its experience. He lifted the trophy with Chelsea in 2011 after beating Manchester City.
“We’ve got players that have been successful, players who played crucial matches in the competition. We still need to do our best to gain an advantage.
It can sometimes also be an advantage to not have experience, and instead have the role of contenders or a hunter. Arsenal could benefit from this. After so many years, to go all in.
“It’s unusual for us, too, to find ourselves in the semifinals. It’s been a long time since we or anyone else has overcome this level. The situation now is that there’s only one final match for us to take the next step in the beautiful competition.
“We will bring all of our resources to the table.” We are willing to add an additional 5% based on the collective experience of our group.
But we must bring it. We will not receive anything from anyone. This competition is like that. “It’s a tough competition.”
