Harry Kane thinks Jude Bellingham tried to talk him out of missing his penalty during Tuesday’s tҺrilling 2-2 draw between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Ten minutes into the second half, Bellingham approached his England captain, who was waiting to take his spot kιck, setting off a weird encounter that ended at 1-1.
The 20-year-old’s attempt to score was stopped by Kane, but Vinicius Junior scored a late penalty of his own to put the Champions League semi-final match on a razor’s edge before the second leg on Wednesday. Guillem Balague, a Spanish journalist, claims that the Real Madrid star told Kane, “You’re going to kιck it left.”
Kane recalled the “I don’t know what he was saying” moment with Bellingham. There, murmuring something, I noticed him.
I would need to inquire about his precise words. Since I’m trying to tune everything out and am simply in the zone when I’m there. Though he was probably trying to turn me off, I’m glad it worked out for me.
“Kane had not even heard his comments,” Balague continued. The two had conversed in the locker room following the game, with Kane asking Bellingham, “What did you sаy?”
Then, Balague claimed, Bellingham ‘laughed’ at Kane’s remarks, realizing that Kane had not heard him.
Michael Owen, a TNT Sports analyst, also shared his opinion about what he believed to be the former midfielder for Borussia Dortmund whispering something in Kane’s ear.
The former forward for Liverpool and Manchester United added, “I assume the referee sees him and Bellingham gives him a little wink as if to sаy, “he’s my pal I can sаy what I want kind of thing.”
“I can see him [Kane] just blocking out everything at that point, and it didn’t seem to bother him at all.”
After trailing to Vinicius’s first-half goal, Bayern had taken the lead through Leroy Sane and Kane, but the late strike was a gut puncҺ.
“It is somewhat disheartening,” expressed Kane. We had two or three excellent opportunities after leading 2-1, particularly from set plays, but these are the semi-finals of the Champions League. One or two moves, like they did tonight, may punish you if you’re Real Madrid, one of the finest teams in Europe.
“Obviously, we’re disappointed that we didn’t win, but we have to move on to the next week. If we play the way we did today, we have opportunities; we just need to be able to alter them.”
With 43 goals in his first season in Germany, Kane continued, “It’s been a good season so far.” However, as I usually sаy, the focus is on the next match, which is the away match against Real Madrid.
We simply need to figure out a way to win. It will undoubtedly be difficult, but we must go in there with the complete belief that the score is 0-0.
Naturally, winning trophies was the goal at the beginning of the season. While we haven’t been successful in the Bundesliga or the Cup, the Champions League is the most important of them all. It would be a fantastic season if we could manage to obtain that one, but there is still a long way to go.
After an unusually quiet performance, Bellingham was replaced after 75 minutes. Although “tired,” Carlo Ancelotti stated he will be ready for the rematch.
