Bayern Munich star Harry Kane will end the season without a trophy if his team loses to Arsenal on Wednesday but the England star has hailed the squad's togetherness

Harry Kane is convinced Bayern Munich have the experience and “togetherness” to reach greater heights in the Champions League.

‌England captain Kane, 30, has enjoyed an incredible first season with the German giants as he has scored 39 goals in all competitions. But the European Cup is his last remaining chance of silverware because, by their own standards, it has been a hugely disappointing season for Bayern as Bayer Leverkusen have already wrapped up the Bundesliga title.‌

However, Kane says that Bayern have saved some of their best performances for the Champions League and the six-time winners have got the experience and winners in their dressing room. Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich, Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka have all won the trophy before and are expected to start against Arsenal.

That will only add to the sense of expectation in the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night and evoke memories of past glories with the Bayern fans expecting them to get past Arsenal. Kane said: “We have got a lot of experience and a lot of players who have played in big games, big moments. It is no secret here that the club set out to win the Champions League every season.

“So there is an expectation. I think if you look at our performances this year there has been a different type of performance in the Champions League. I feel like we have maybe been together more, willing to do more on the pitch defensively and in other aspects.

“It is a time to raise our game, time for me and the players who have been in big pressure situations to step up and be counted. It is going to be an amazing atmosphere, it is going to be a quarter-final Champions League night. There is a lot of expectation but I think there is a good belief in the squad that we can achieve something.”

Kane is desperate to keep his own season alive and to get away from the tag of never having won any silverware despite his own personal success with club and country. He also says he feels the extra responsibility of being a £90m star signing but will not view this season as a personal failure if they finish up without a trophy,

Kane said: “It depends what you define by a failure. Of course every player, every club, wants to win trophies, that’s the ultimate goal every season. But there’s a process into winning, a process into the individual and the team.

“You want to improve as a player individually every year, you want to get better, you want to show the world your capabilities and you want to push yourself to the very limits

“Where I’m at in my career, at the stage I’m at, people expect a different level from me in every game that I play and that comes with goals and assists but also an all round performance using my leadership and experience that I’ve had throughout my career to help the team.”

Of course football always delivers fairytales and destiny and Kane - the former Spurs striker and top scorer - facing Arsenal, the club which released him as a nine-year-old was surely written in the stars this season. Kane says that sense of proving people wrong has been in his “DNA” throughout his career as he also says he still relishes playing Arsenal.

He added: “I think it was one of the biggest games of the season for pretty much my whole career, we played them at least twice a year for the last 10 years and it was always a big occasion, big moment. Maybe it was in the back of the mind, being released from a young age, and there’s always a point to prove – I’m the type of player who, throughout my career, has had points to prove along the way, I don’t think that ever leaves you, I think it’ll always be in my DNA until I retire.

“There’ll always be a reason to prove someone wrong or to prove to myself I can do something. But I’m here at Bayern Munich it’s just about being a top team in the Champions League.

“Of course I have history with them [Arsenal], but all I can do is try and help Bayern Munich qualify for the semi-final of the Champions League.”
