Jude Bellingham gets in Harry Kane’s ear before crucial Bayern Munich penalty – but is unable to stop his England teammate putting the Germans ahead against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final
Jude Bellingham had a word in Harry Kane’s ear before a crucial penalty during Real Madrid’s Champions League trip to Bayern Munich.
Bellingham wanted to give the final word to Kane before the penalty, and the referee led the Real Madrid star out of the penalty area.
However, the 20-year-old could not stop his England teammate from scoring a penalty to put the German giants 2-1 up after Vinicius Jr had initially put the visitors ahead at the Allianz Arena.
Leroy Sane had leveled Bayern after half-time before Vazquez brought down Musiala in the penalty area, leading to the England captain coolly firing the ball into the bottom left corner from 12 yards out.
Vinicius Jr was awarded his own penalty seven minutes before the end of normal time, which he converted on the night to make it 2-2, keeping it all square for next week’s second leg.
