    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Bayern's journey in the United States begins with a fixture against Auckland City, followed by matches against Argentina’s Boca Juniors and Portugal’s Benfica. Kane is particularly enthusiastic about facing Boca, as he expects a massive turnout supporting the South American side at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.

  • WHAT KANE SAID

    Speaking to reporters, Kane said: "The game against Boca, in particular, will be a great match because I expect a great atmosphere in Miami; a lot of their fans will be there. Overall, we expect some tough matches. Auckland is still an unknown opponent, and of course, we'll be the favourites on paper.

    "But we know every team in this competition is strong. We have to prepare well, as we do for every game. For me as a player, it's a great experience to play against teams from different countries around the world."

    After bagging the Bundesliga Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, the former Tottenham star has seamlessly integrated into Bayern’s high-octane system. He is confident of delivering on the global stage and believes that the club has the pedigree to become world champions.

    "We're certainly one of the favourites," he insisted. "I think this season has shown what kind of team we are. On a good day, we can beat any opponent in the world. It's a tournament we take seriously and are preparing for well. When we arrive in the USA, we'll be fully focused. We're approaching the Club World Cup like any other competition. That's an important mindset."

    WHAT NEXT FOR KANE?

    After a disappointing end to the international break with England, Kane is eager to return to winning ways with Bayern. Next summer, he will return to American soil for the 2026 World Cup, and a deep run with Thomas Tuchel's side is firmly in his sights. The spotlight will be on him as the forward continues to lead the nation’s golden generation in pursuit of a long-awaited second international title.
