Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry know Boca Juniors is a step up in competition for Bayern Munich at Club World Cup

Bayern Munich is just a few hours from taking on Boca Juniors in the Club World Cup and Harry Kane knows it is time to step things up.

“Obviously, it’s a step up in quality compared to the first game, but we’ll prepare for it the same way we did against Auckland and every other team we play. They’ll give us a big fight and do everything they can to throw us off our game. We have to be prepared for that. We can take a big step towards the knockout stage. That’s what we’re focused on,” Kane said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

For Serge Gnabry, the aggressive nature of Boca Juniors will be something for Bayern Munich to adapt to.

“You don’t come across these kinds of games very often at the European level, where the opponent is so aggressive. But we have to hold our own and concentrate on our game. Then it’ll be a game like any other. The stadium will be very loud, it will be a great game. I’m a big Boca fan,” said Gnabry (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Clearly, this one should be a lot of fun.
