Harry Kane warns Real Madrid that Bayern Munich don’t fear anyone following their 10-2 aggregate victory over Atalanta
Harry Kane has sent a bold message to the rest of Europe, declaring that Bayern Munich are ready for a fight after cruising into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Following a dominant 4-1 victory over Atalanta on Wednesday, which sealed a staggering 10-2 aggregate win, the England captain insisted that the German giants are not intimidated by the prospect of facing 15-time winners Real Madrid.
The striker was in devastating form at the Allianz Arena, netting twice to reach a landmark 50 career goals in just 66 Champions League appearances. After starting the first leg on the bench, Kane returned to the lineup with the captain’s armband for the first time in European competition, leading by example.

His brace also brought his season total to a career-high 47 goals across all competitions, underscoring his status as the most lethal marksman in world football today.
“We don’t fear anyone,” Kane told the media in the aftermath of the win. “We know it’ll be tough, but with the confidence from this game and the season so far, we just need to keep doing what we’re doing.”
His optimism is backed by a formidable run of form; Bayern currently sit nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and have suffered only two defeats in 41 matches this season.
“Whenever you play Real Madrid in the Champions League, you have to expect a tough opposition,” Kane remarked, noting that his side has learned the necessary tactical discipline to handle the unique pressure that comes with facing the Kings of Europe.

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany echoed his captain’s respect for the opposition while highlighting the historic magnitude of the tie. “Both clubs are giants,” Kompany stated, acknowledging that Real Madrid typically find another gear as the stakes rise. The Belgian coach expressed excitement for what he predicts will be an absolute top game for neutral fans, though he remained firm on his team’s ultimate objective: progressing at the expense of the tournament’s most successful club.
While Bayern have not tasted victory against Real Madrid since the 2011-12 semi-finals, the current momentum suggests the tide may be turning.
