Bayern will play Arsenal away from home in this round of the Champions League. Kane was interviewed before the game and talked about his personal role, status and prospects for the game.

Harry Kane has revealed how much he enjoys playing a "complete" role at Bayern Munich, prompting comparisons to legendary defender Franz Beckenbauer.

Kane has been extremely efficient in scoring goals this season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions for Bayern Munich, who are in great form under Vincent Kompany. But the England captain will still drop deep from time to time, playing a deeper role as a playmaker, leading some to view him as a cross between Bayern's iconic striker Gerd Müller and former defender Beckenbauer.

Kane was asked about these comparisons in an interview, and he said: "It's down to the system of our game - I think it allows me to express myself in those ways, whether it is to drop deep with the ball, try to create a numerical advantage, but also use my long passing ability."

"And I am in the narrow The ability to get out of small spaces to help the team move forward, to sit a little deeper in the penalty area where I can still get a chance to score. "

"And defensively, with the man-to-man approach we have, sometimes that means I end up playing a defensive midfielder or a centre-back role that I've always enjoyed. Defended, even from a young age. Even though I'm a goalscorer, I've always enjoyed making tackles or blocking shots. There have been moments like that this season, especially in big games like the one against Dortmund (on the edge of their own box). Tackle. "

"I enjoy being involved in all aspects of the game and I think you have seen that enthusiasm on the pitch this season. "

Kane is now 32 years old, but he said that after adapting to life in Bavaria, he is at the highest level of his career. "I will say this, in terms of the way I play and the impact I have on the game, not just scoring goals but physically, I feel like I'm in the best shape I've ever been in my career," he said.

"You combine all that with the experience of being here for a few years, working with the coach for two years, and what you see now is a really mature version of me. "

"Every game I go into, I feel like I'm going to get a chance to score, and that confidence is there and I can do that this season. It feels good to be able to seize a lot of opportunities. "

When talking about the difficulty of the away game against Arsenal, he said bluntly: "I think this will be the most difficult game. Obviously, it is a very difficult game against Paris Saint-Germain, but our playing style is similar to Paris, and the first half almost became a one-on-one game. It was one of the best halves we've played all season. It's going to be a little bit different [against Arsenal]. I think Arsenal do a lot of things they're good at, which are similar to us, like not taking too many risks, good set-pieces, all that. All of this makes for a top team. "

"It will be a difficult night, probably our toughest game so far, and an interesting test. "

After the first four games of the Champions League stage, Arsenal and Bayern have both maintained a winning record, and the Gunners have yet to concede a goal.
