HARRY KANE showed off his German for the very first time as he starred in a new advert for Audi with two Bayern Munich team-mates.

The England captain, 30, is preparing to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg tonight with the tie poised at 2-2.

Kane has enjoyed a brilliant first season personally at Bayern, scoring 39 times in 39 games, but he could still end the campaign trophyless after Bayer Leverkusen sealed their first-ever Bundesliga title at the weekend.

One of the major obstacles he has had to overcome in his new surroundings is the language barrier.

Kane refused Rio Ferdinand’s request in December to speak German live on TNT Sports but did reveal that he was taking a couple of lessons a week.

That was after fans were left in hysterics after spotting the awkward moment Kane realised he could not argue with a German referee shortly after his £104million move from Tottenham.

However, the star showed off some of the lingo as he joined Thomas Muller and Mathys Tel in an advert for the club’s official partner Audi.

Kane is driving as Muller asks him: “Harry, where are we going?”

He replies “Umleitung” as he follows a sign showing the word - which translates to detour - to the left.

The ex-Spurs ace then does another manoeuvre through the Bavarian streets as pal Tel, who is sat in the back seat, asks Muller if Kane is serious.

Herman legend Muller then asks: “Harry, you know 'Umleitung' isn't a place right?”

To which Kane responds: “Thomas, I know. I'm just getting to know my new home.”

Another humorous moment then follows at the end of the advert as Muller jokes “next destination 'Einbahnstrasse’” - which means one-way street.

Kane then attempts to repeat what his German strike partner said but almost ends up bursting with laughter.

English fans soon spotted and started to mock the clip after it went viral on social media.

And one cheekily asked: “Does a BAFTA count as a major trophy?”

Another said: “If you’re not in Germany, then you’re missing out on a stunning piece of acting from Harry Kane in the Audi x Bayern advert.”

While a third commented: “Let’s just say he’s better in front of goal.”

Kane was axed from Arsenal’s academy as a nine-year-old.

That is something that used to galvanise him in North London derbies during his Tottenham days. 

And ahead of Bayern’s clash with the Gunners, Kane said: “I know there will be a lot of Spurs fans watching, hoping that Bayern go through, but I can't focus on that.

“All I can do is try and beat the team in front of us, and that's Arsenal.

“It was one of the biggest games of the season for pretty much my whole career.

“It was always a big occasion, big moment. Maybe it was in the back of the mind, being released from a young age, and there’s always a point to prove.

“But for me here, it’s a different chapter, a different moment. I don’t think specifically back to it now.”
