#3 The Harry Kane Factor
Manchester City might have a plethora of genuine world-class players to call upon – Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Kevin de Bruyne, David Silva, et al – but you can never count Tottenham out of any game because in the form of their talismanic striker Harry Kane, they have one of the best goalscorers in the world right now, and a man who loves to step up on the big occasion, too.
Not only has Kane been the most consistent goalscorer in the Premier League since he rose to prominence back in 2014/15, but he’s also got a World Cup Golden Boot to his name – something that even the great Aguero can’t lay claim to.
To add to that, his record in the Champions League is absolutely fantastic. In 17 appearances on Europe’s biggest stage, Kane has 14 goals and 3 assists, meaning he’s essentially involved in a goal in every Champions League game he plays. This season alone, he’s scored a goal against Barcelona, struck a late double to sink PSV Eindhoven, and scored the winner in Tottenham’s second-leg victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16.
Kane might have only recently returned following an ankle injury, but his goalscoring form hasn’t let up at all – since his return he’s scored 4 goals in 5 games. And so long as Spurs can call upon the England captain to score the big goals in the big games, they stand a chance against any side in Europe – even Guardiola’s all-conquering City.
