Harry Kane remained undeterred even when Jude Bellingham tried to disrupt him moments before taking a crucial penalty, insisting that nothing could break his focus as he netted his 43rd goal of the season.
Real Madrid’s Bellingham, known for his antics, attempted to unsettle Kane with some words just before the English striker was set to take his spot-kick. However, Kane remained in his zone, blocking out distractions, and successfully converted the penalty despite the playful interference.
“I don’t know what he was saying. I saw him mumbling something. Once I’m in that moment, I’m in my zone, trying to block everyone out. I’m sure he was saying something to try to put me off,” remarked Kane after the match.
Despite his goal, Kane expressed some disappointment as Bayern Munich couldn’t secure a win, but he remains optimistic about their chances in the Champions League. With the semi-final tie finely balanced, Kane believes they have what it takes to progress to the final at Wembley on June 1.
“It’s been a good season so far. It’s just about the next game. Everything we’re fighting for this year is in this competition. It’ll be tough. We have to go there with full belief. But I’m here for many years,” Kane asserted.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti substituted Bellingham towards the end of the game, citing concerns about his fitness. Ancelotti reassured that Bellingham would regain his top form soon, despite not being at his best in the match due to a lingering injury.
