Harry Kane reveals why he has extra motivation against Chelsea as former Tottenham star aims to torment Blues with Bayern Munich in Champions League opener

Harry Kane says Chelsea fans’ dislike of him only makes him more motivated to torment them with Bayern Munich ahead of their Champions League showdown at the Allianz Arena.

The former Tottenham Hotspur striker will reignite his long-standing rivalry with the Blues, against whom the England international has scored eight times in his career.

Speaking at Bayern’s training ground to the visiting press pack, Kane said: ‘The rivalry was a good rivalry we had, especially early on in my Tottenham career, the (Mauricio) Pochettino era.

‘We had a lot of tough games, good games against each other. Playing against Premier League opposition, there's always maybe a little bit more expectation around the game.

‘Obviously, maybe the Chelsea fans don't like me as much, and obviously Arsenal fans don't like me as much, but that makes me want to play better, that motivates me.

‘There’s going to be some familiar faces that I've played against, some that I've played with with England. All those things added, it just brings a little something special around the game.

‘Being at the Allianz, having an English team here, as a team we like to try and stamp our authority on the game, and we'll try and do that. But we’re playing against a very good side, so we have to be at 100 per cent.’

Chelsea previously tried to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace – twice in separate windows – but he joined Bayern for £50million last summer instead. ‘I'm glad Michael is with us and not with them,’ Kane added when asked on Olise.

Meanwhile, Bayern boss Vincent Kompany admitted he had spoken with loanee Nicolas Jackson to extract inside information on his parent club, but that it only confirmed to him that he had done his own analytical work well.

‘If it wasn't for the fact that I watched already probably 40 games of Chelsea last season combined, because we were in the Club World Cup together and we faced a lot of the opponents that they faced,’ Kompany said. 'Last season, Chelsea were also just an interesting team to observe.

‘So I don't have the feeling that it's a team that will deliver a lot of mysteries. I happen to know the coach as well. But of course, you have the conversation (with Jackson). After a few moments, you realise that you've done your homework well or not. And it's nothing more than that.

‘Never forget, I like keeping this at the centre, we have our ideas, we have our tactics, we have everything. But in the end, it's the players. The players have to show their personality in these games to make a difference. That's what they need to feel.’
