The Gunners were defeated 1-0 on the night, and 3-2 on aggregate. Joshua Kimmich scored the winning goal midway through the second half at the Allianz Arena, sending Bayern into the last four. Kane and Dier both played the full 90 minutes, with Dier being named man of the match for his strong performance at the back. Fans expressed their satisfaction in watching Kane and Dier outplay Arsenal on their big day out.
Some observers questioned whether Bayern could go on to win the tournament, while another individual attributed Arsenal’s loss to the contributions of Harry Kane and Eric Dier. The outcome led to Kane and Dier reaching the same number of Champions League semi-finals as Arsenal in their entire history, which is two. As Dier is set to return to Spurs after his loan spell at Bayern, it is likely that he will be transferred in the summer, with Ange Postecoglou not being the biggest fan of the Englishman. Meanwhile, Kane, who left Spurs for £100m last summer, has achieved a career-high of 32 goals this season and is the frontrunner to win the Bundesliga golden boot.
