Harry Kane has revealed what Jude Bellingham told him as he prepared to take Bayern Munich’s penalty in the last night Champions League Semifinal match
As Kane stepped up to take the kick, Bellingham could be seen mumbling something to Kane in an apparent bid to unsettle him. But the England captain placed his penalty to the right of goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to give Bayern a 2-1 lead at Allianz Arena – although Vinicius Junior later also converted from the spot as the match ended all square.
Kane said afterwards he did not hear what Bellingham said on the pitch but that the 20-year-old told him after the match.
“In the moment, I didn’t know what he said but I spoke to him after and he said: ‘I know you’re going to go left of the keeper’.
“On the pitch, I knew he was there but I didn’t know what he said. But I went left anyway.
It was Kane’s 43rd goal in 43 games in all competitions this season and helps Bayern in their aim of finishing the season on a high, with the Champions League the only trophy they remain in contention for.
Kane left Tottenham last summer for an initial £86m in the hope of winning trophies with 11-time Bundesliga champions Bayern.
Bayer Leverkusen have already halted that run while Thomas Tuchel’s side were knocked out of the German Cup in the second round by third-tier side Saarbrucken.
The first leg leaves the tie finely balanced for the return on Wednesday at the Bernabeu to decide who goes to the final on 1 June at Wembley.
