What did Jude Bellingham say to Harry Kane? Bayern Munich striker reveals how England colleague tried to put him off before penalty against Real Madrid in Champions League semi-final

Bellingham was spotted going over to Kane and saying a few words to his England team-mate just before he took a penalty for Bayern against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg between the two teams at the Allianz Arena. Kane went on to score from the spot to put Real Madrid 2-1 up before Vinicius Jr bagged a late equaliser for the visitors.

The England striker admitted after the game that Bellingham had tried to put him off. However, the Madrid man's efforts were in vain as Kane scored his 43rd goal of the season for Bayern. The draw means it's all to play for in the return at the Santiago Bernabeu next Wednesday, with Kane now revealing exactly what his England team-mate said to him.

Kane told BBC Sport that Bellingham told him after the game what he had said: “In the moment, I didn’t know what he said but I spoke to him after and he said: ‘I know you’re going to go left of the keeper'. On the pitch, I knew he was there but I didn’t know what he said. But I went left anyway. It was nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away."

Kane has been directly involved in 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League this season (eight goals, three assists); the most ever by an English player in a single campaign in the competition.

The two England stars will meet again on Wednesday for the deciding leg, which will see one of the players secure a place in the final against either PSG or Dortmund. Kane and Bellingham will then link up with England in the summer as Gareth Southgate's side go for glory at Euro 2024.
