Bayern Munich and England talisman Harry Kane has selected the most difficult opponent of his career, with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk overlooked.

Speaking to Goal, Kane was presented with eight center-backs that he has faced so far in his career: Van Dijk, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Antonio Rudiger, John Terry, Ruben Dias, Giorgio Chiellini, and Mats Hummels.

But while many would have expected him to pick Van Dijk, the 31-year-old chose Chelsea icon Terry as the best defender he has ever come up against.

Kane has played against Liverpool a total of 17 times in his career.

He lost the Champions League final against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in 2019 and has lost 10 times against the Reds in all competitions, but has scored nine times in those fixtures.

This season, Kane won the first trophy of his career when Bayern Munich took back the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen.

Spurs, meanwhile, the team he left in search of silverware, also won something, collecting the Europa League under Ange Postecoglou.

Van Dijk, who has won the Premier League with Liverpool, will lift that trophy on Sunday after the Reds have played Crystal Palace.
