The struggling Bundesliga giants, who have suffered defeats in their last two league matches, are preparing to face an in-form Arsenal team in the initial leg of their Champions League quarter-final encounter scheduled for Tuesday. Ahead of this crucial showdown at the Emirates Stadium, Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, expressed his anticipation for their star striker, Harry Kane, to rise to the occasion and find the net against his former rivals from North London.
In an interview with BILD, Eberl remarked, “I expect goals. He’s already scored a lot, which is doing us a lot of good. He is returning to his homeland.”
However, Eberl also emphasized that his team is considered the underdog for the upcoming match: “Arsenal is already the favorite! They are top of the Premier League and doing very well.”
The 30-year-old English forward faced the Gunners for the first time in 2015 while representing Tottenham Hotspur. Since then, he has encountered the Premier League powerhouse on 19 occasions across various competitions, registering 14 goals and providing three assists. Throughout the current season, the England captain has maintained an impressive run of form, tallying 38 goals in 37 appearances for the Bavarian outfit.
Following their encounter with Mikel Arteta’s squad midweek, Thomas Tuchel’s team will return to Bundesliga action on Saturday to take on FC Koln.
