'Harry Kane knocking Arsenal out of the Champions League' - Gunners fans have mixed reactions after being drawn against England star's Bayern Munich in quarter-finals

After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-vs-porto-david-raya-martin-odegaard/blt0d85e2c83b92b9c6" target="_blank">scraping past FC Porto on penalties earlier this week</a>, the Gunners discovered their last-eight opponents on Friday afternoon. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/champions-league-quarter-final-draw-arsenal-face-harry-kane-bayern-munich-man-city-paired-real-madrid/bltc1be7f759721a0bb" target="_blank">Arsenal were the first ball drawn</a>, with Mikel Arteta's side set to face Kane and co. over two legs next month - a game that will see the ex-Tottenham icon return to face his former rivals.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Social media exploded when the tie was drawn, with some rival supporters predicting a Kane-orchestrated downfall for Arsenal in the quarter-finals.

Not every Arsenal fan was as concerned about the England captain's talents, however. The World Class Dropout wrote: "Harry Kane welcome to the William Saliba detainment." Meanwhile, @BilalArdale boasted that: "Arsenal gonna make sure Harry Kane stays trophyless".

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Kane has already returned to play in England once already since his blockbuster move to Bavaria, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-bayern-munich-rasmus-hojlund-bruno-fernandes/blt78d24acdea2f2372" target="_blank">impressing in Bayern's 1-0 victory over Manchester United</a> in the Champions League group stages at Old Trafford.

On the other side of the draw, Atletico Madrid were paired with Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals, while PSG will take on Barcelona.

Before Kane can worry about facing former foes, he has a Bundesliga clash with Darmstadt to contend with on Saturday. After that he will be in international action for England, with the Three Lions set to face Brazil and Belgium in a pair of mouth-watering international friendlies.
