Piers Morgan could not resist a brutal jibe in Harry Kane's direction after Arsenal drew Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Gunners fan Morgan told Kane that his season was about to get much worse in the aftermath of the tie being set. Mikel Arteta's side will welcome the Bundesliga champions in April after reaching the quarter-final stage via a penalty shootout win over Porto.
It is the first time Arsenal have reached the final eight teams in the competition for 14 years and they will hope to take advantage of Bayern's difficult season to go another step further. Thomas Tuchel's side coasted through the group stage of the Champions League but had to come from behind following a first-leg defeat to Lazio in the last-16 of the competition.
Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham in the summer looking to earn silverware. While the England international has enjoyed a good season personally, racking up 36 goals in just 34 appearances, his new team trail Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and the decision to part with Tuchel has already been made.
Morgan is hopeful that Arsenal will be able to add to Kane's woes. He posted on X: "BOOM! Arsenal v Bayern... Poor Harry's season is about to get a lot worse…"
