Harry Kane fires warning to Paris Saint-Germain after Bayern Munich beat Flamengo to reach quarter-finals - 'We can beat anyone'
Bayern Munich are into the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, and Harry Kane believes his side are far from done yet. The England captain bagged a brace in a hard-fought last-16 win over Flamengo. It sets up a mouthwatering clash with Paris Saint-Germain for a place in the last four, and Kane insists his side can come out on top - just like they did in Europe last November.
Kane 'loving' Club World Cup after Bayern's tough Boca Juniors win - 'We will sleep well tonight'
Harry Kane has warned that Bayern Munich mean business after reaching the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The England striker was on target as his side beat Flamengo 4-2 in the last-16.
His brace means he has passed 40 goals for the campaign, and he will now pit his wits against Paris Saint-Germain, after their 4-0 demolition of Inter Miami.

That is a mouthwatering clash, and one that Kane is looking forward to, especially given Vincent Kompany's side beat their French opponents 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League earlier this season.
"It's going to be another tough game," Kane told DAZN.
"PSG have had an amazing season. We played them earlier in the year and we came out on top.
"We have to try and use that energy, that feeling, in this game. We know it will be difficult.
"But look, we feel like we can beat anyone when we're at our level. We've shown it in the tournament so far.
"It's going to be another tough game. We're going to have to recover well and get ready for it."
Bayern did not have things all their own way against Flamengo, despite racing into a 2-0 lead after just nine minutes thanks to an Erick Pulgar own goal and Kane's first strike of the night.
Gerson pulled one back, only for Leon Goretzka to strike just before half-time to ensure the German outfit led 3-1 at the break.
Still, the Brazilians made their life difficult, with former Chelsea and Arsenal man Jorginho netting from the penalty spot.
It was not until Kane grabbed his second of the night that the game was finally put to bed, and the striker was particularly pleased with the way in which he took the goal.
"It was a nice ball by Josh [Kimmich], I wasn't sure if he saw it," he continued. "He played a nice little disguised pass.
"I talk a lot about the first touch. It sets up the goal. I was able to go both ways and I thought the front post was a better option. Thankfully it paid off."
Speaking about the game, the England international added: "It was tough. We were playing against a really good side. Difficult conditions, really hot.
"I thought we played well for large spells of the game. Every time we felt like we got away, they clawed their way back and made it difficult, especially in the second half.
"The fourth goal was an important goal for us, just to ease the nerves in the last ten minutes or so. From there, we controlled it well."
Kompany impressed as Bayern handle 'ferocious' tempo
The victory over Flamengo keeps Bayern on target for a historic season.
The German club have just wrestled back the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen, and they are now looking to add a third Club World Cup crown.
It would be quite the achievement if they were to go all the way this time around, and they have already beaten Boca Juniors (2-1) and Auckland City (10-0) to get this far.
Also speaking to DAZN, manager Vincent Kompany said: "I think the main thing is, I looked in the first 20 minutes and we were playing well, but the intensity of the game was ferocious.
"I'm thinking 'okay, in this heat, against this opponent, is this going to carry on?' To be fair, we grew into the game and I think it was a good game for the fans. We are really happy to go to the next round.
"We'll see what it needs to be for that game [against PSG], but the main thing is we have to rest now, recover from this game, use every single day that we've got to rebuild our energy.
"What more do you want? Top sides playing each other on the biggest stage. We'll be ready for that."
