Jude Bellingham tried to use mental tricks before taking Bayern Munich’s Champions League penalty, according to HARRY KANE.

At Tuesday’s Allianz Arena, England’s captain scored a penalty kick to put Real Madrid up 2-1 in their first leg match.

However, England teammate Bellingham tried to make contact with the referee only seconds before he took his penalty, but Turpin warned him to back off.

“Actually, I knew he was there on the pitch, but I didn’t know what he said,” Kane stated.

After we chatted, he told me, “I know you’re going to go left of the keeper.” However, I was able to put it away early since I noticed the keeper leaving a little early. In any case, I turned left.

Next week on Wednesday, Kane and Bellingham will play a sensational second leg in Madrid.When you’re up 2-1 in a big game and lose, it’s disappointing, but there are a lot of things to take, according to the former Spurs striker.

I expect next week’s game to be quite similar, and we have a week to think about it and assess it.

“It’s incredible. The Champions League semi-final match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is the pinnacle of sporting events.

What I came here for is this kind of experience, and the Bernabeu will be the same next week, so I want to make the most of it..

What I’m most thrilled about is having this chance. The weather was perfect, and I played really well; nonetheless, I had a few half-chances that I could have converted for a better result.

Next week will be very much the same, though, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.Even though Real are heavy favorites to go to the final, Kane is holding out hope that he can return to London on June 1.

The thought of playing in the Champions League final at Wembley is always on his mind, and he would be lying if he claimed it wasn’t a fantasy.

I warned you before our match against Arsenal that we need to take massive leaps forward, the most significant of which will be next week.

We have handled three major games really effectively. The first Real Madrid game here, the two Arsenal games, but next week is the deciding factor, and we must deliver on that occasion.

At the 24 minute mark of Sunday night’s match, Real Madrid took the lead thanks to a precise pass from Toni Kroos to Vinicius Jr., who had run in behind Kim Min-jae and slotted the ball past Manuel Neuer.

Bayern were level in the 53rd minute thanks to a thunderous strike from Leroy Sane, who cut inside on his left foot and fired past Andriy Lunin.

A few minutes later, after “zoning out” Three Lions friend Bellingham, Kane, 30, scored it 2-1 from the penalty spot.

After a careless foul by Kim in the 83rd minute, Real Madrid equalized from the penalty spot thanks to a goal by Vinicius Jr.

I have a feeling he was trying to discourage me with his words.

Following the match, Kane mentioned “zoning” Bellingham.

Thanks be to God, everything was OK, since I’m sure he was trying to put me off.

“I am confused by his words. He was muttering something, and I could see him.

I should probably just ask him to clarify. When I’m in the zone, I do my best to tune out the world.”The Champions League is the biggest of them all, so if we can somehow get our hands on that one, then of course it would be an amazing season,” he continued proudly. A considerable amount of work remains.

This weekend, Real Madrid will host Cadiz, and Bayern will go to Stuttgart to prepare for next Wednesday’s second leg in Madrid.

This one will have stung Kane the most… what’s the German for schadenfreude?, says Dave Kidd

The loss of the Bundesliga trophy will have hurt Harry Kane more than any other trophy he has failed to win.

We had anticipated this to be a foregone conclusion. Absolutely spot-on.

When the England captain joined the famous Bavarian superpower Bayern Munich last summer, everyone thought, “Well, at least he’ll finally win something.” Bayern Munich had won the Bundesliga 11 years in a row.

On the other hand, on Sunday night, Bayer Leverkusen—popularly known as “Neverkusen” in Germany because to their history of late-game defeats—were frolicking around with a 16-point lead, perfect record across the board, and a championship title already secured with five games remaining.

So goes the longest prize curse in football history.

This is particularly bizarre because the tale of Leverkusen is nearly as remarkable as that of Leicester City’s miraculous 2015–16 title—the same season in which Kane won the Premier League Golden Boot for the first time and Tottenham finished “third in a two-horse race” behind Arsenal.

Every time something bad happens, Kane is the one who comes up short, the one who almost gets away, and the one who gets blamed. He’s also a favorite target for people who like seeing other people’s misery.

How about “schadenfreude” in German? Anyone?
