In the early morning of May 1, Beijing time, in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Real Madrid drew 2-2 with Bayern away. An interesting scene happened in this game when Bellingham put pressure on his national team team-mates by saying something in Kane's ear before Kane took the penalty.
In the 57th minute, at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, Vázquez brought down Musiala in the box, resulting in Bayern receiving a penalty. As Harry Kane walked to the penalty spot to take the spot, Bellingham suddenly approached and said something. Referee Clement Tepin had to step in and ask the 2003-born midfielder to leave the box so Kane could take the penalty.
According to the Daily Mail, Bellingham said some harsh words in an attempt to distract Kane. The young star's move sparked a wave of controversy on social networks.
'What would Bellingham say when he saw Kane again in the national team?' one fan asked. 'Someone should remind Bellingham that Kane is his captain. The second person commented.
However, there are also some fans who disagree. 'Giving it your all for the club, it's a necessary quality. "It's normal behaviour for players in the game. A Real Madrid fan also expressed his opinion.
Despite Bellingham's attempts to apply pressure, Kane managed to convert the penalty to extend Bayern's lead to 2-1. However, Bayern Munich ended up drawing 2-2 with La Liga rivals Real Madrid.
Speaking after the game, England captain Harry Kane also said of the incident: "I don't know exactly what Bellingham said, but those words were probably not very friendly. I was only focused on penalties and luckily I made it. ”
Real Madrid suddenly took the lead in the first half thanks to Vinicius' 24th-minute goal, and the home side came from behind to take the lead thanks to goals from Leroy Sane (53\') and Kane (57\'). Kane's goal came from a penalty after Lucas Vazquez fouled Jamal Musiala in the box.
Soon after Bayern took the lead, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti made changes to his attack, including removing Bellingham to make room for Brahim Diaz. Real Madrid's game improved, and in the 87th minute, Vinicius scored a brace from the penalty spot to level the score at 2-2. Previously, Rodrygo was fouled by Kim Min-jae in the box and was awarded a penalty.
Kane and Jude Bellingham, two influential stars in the England squad, will meet again at the Bernabeu on 9 May. Bayern Munich are determined to end an eight-game winless run against Real Madrid and win a ticket to this season's Champions League final.
