Exclusive Harry Kane: It's always a nice battle against Arsenal. Ballon d'Or? I try not to think about it

Reporter Alessandro Schiavone has spoken exclusively to England superstar Harry Kane after Arsenal's 2-2 with his Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena

Harry, that pass for Alphonso Davies, only you could have seen and picked that! Inch-perfect!

“Yeah, one of my best passes for sure. I think it was an important moment in the game being 1-0 down and getting the goal before half-time helped change the game focus. I said to 'Phonsi' before the game playing in that position ‘whenever I get the ball, just run’! Because I think I can find him with his speed and his pace. And yeah that one obviously worked out perfectly. And his finish was top top as well so on his weaker foot. It was nice to see it go in.”

It was your 16th goal against Arsenal, what makes playing against the Gunners so special? It really whets your appetite..

“Yeah I don’t know (he smiles). We've had lots of battles, some highs some lows among those. Even at Bayern we played a lots of games against Arsenal. Obviously at Tottenham you’re expected to play Arsenal. Even at Bayern now it’s the fourth game or so. It’s one of those fixtures it’s always a good battle against them and a good game. A lot of teammates I know as well. Today was probably the fair result the draw. So we take it and we move on.”

Would winning the Ballon d’Or be the crowning moment of your world-class career? Do you think about it every morning?

“I try not to think about it but obviously it’s hard not to. There’s always rumours and stuff flying around. I try to stay away from it, we have important games to play and I know we have another one on Sunday before the event on Monday so that’s where my focus is. Of course I am gonna try and enjoy Monday night as much as possible. It’s a big occasion and a big event. So yeah we have to wait and see.”
