Harry Kane exclusive: Bayern Munich striker targets Wembley final - 'No better place to win that trophy'

Harry Kane says there would be “no better place” for him to win the UEFA Champions League than Wembley as Bayern Munich look to move a step closer to the final by beating Arsenal.

Kane scored in the first leg of the quarter-final at the Emirates as Bayern and Arsenal drew 2-2.

The second leg takes place at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, with the winner playing either Manchester City or Real Madrid in the semis.

This year’s final will be held at Wembley, which for England captain Kane would be a special occasion.

“The motivation is there in the back of the head that there’s a chance to play a Champions League final at Wembley which is not an occasion that happens very often,” he told TNT Sports.

“Of course that’s where I want to try and win the Champions League, there would be no better place for me personally to win that trophy.

“But there’s a lot of steps along the way, a lot of tough games to be played, and step one is Arsenal.”

The Champions League is Bayern’s only chance of silverware this season after Bayer Leverkusen clinched the Bundesliga title at the weekend.

Kane is hoping his side can “reach another level” as they look to knock out Arsenal and progress to the last four.

“Of course the league is a disappointment, we know we fell below our standards in that competition,” he said.

“But a Champions League run to Wembley could change a lot of feelings this year and that is what we have to achieve.

“I think our [Champions League] campaign has been good. We have performed differently compared to the Bundesliga, there’s been more of a focus in the Champions League games which of course is not what we want but that’s been the reality this season.

“That will be the same hopefully tomorrow evening and hopefully there’s another level we can reach to progress because Arsenal are a top team.”

The first leg between Bayern and Arsenal featured four goals and drama aplenty.

Arsenal fought back from 2-1 down to draw level through substitute Leandro Trossard, and both sides thought they had penalty claims go against them.

Kane expects that “small details can make a big difference” in the second leg.

“It will come down to fine margins,” he said. “Big games, big knockout games especially, come down to small details here and there.

"It could be set pieces, could be a special goal, a block or a save, when you look back there are always one or two defining moments so we need to make sure that’s on our side.

“The most important thing for us is to really thrive off the energy that’s going to be in the stadium. We need to use that and take that energy on the pitch and implement it with the style we want to achieve.”

Kane has scored 39 goals in all competitions this season, two short of his record.

He says adding to his tally against Arsenal is not as important as Bayern progressing.

“Of course I want to score every game, I make that clear as a striker that’s what I am expected to do, but the most important thing is to win and qualify," he added.

“If that’s me scoring a couple of goals then fantastic, if it’s not and it’s me defending and winning headers and holding the ball up then I am willing to do that for the team.”
