UCL: ‘Respect Kane’ — Odegaard Warns Arsenal Ahead Of Bayern Clash

Published:

Martin Odegaard has advised his Arsenal teammates to show respect towards Harry Kane before their match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Kane and Bayern will face Arsenal in the first leg of their quarter-final tie after suffering a humiliating loss to Heidenheim and a defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

Despite these setbacks, Kane has been in excellent form in his first season with Bayern, scoring an impressive 38 goals in 37 games and providing 12 assists.

Odegaard was asked if Arsenal should fear Kane, and replied: “I think we should respect him, but I don’t think we should fear anyone.

“And we should focus on ourselves and the quality we have in our team, and that is all.

“[Kane is] a good player, of course, and I have played against him a few times and we know the quality he has in the box and he is also good in the link-up [play]. We are facing a good team on Tuesday.”

Throughout his career, Kane has faced Arsenal 19 times while playing for Tottenham, scoring 14 goals. However, he has only won seven of those matches, with Arsenal winning seven as well, and five ending in draws.

Arsenal and Bayern are set to play each other in the first leg of their last eight European encounter on Tuesday. Before the return leg, Arsenal will face Aston Villa, while Bayern will play against Koln on the weekend.
