Brits Abroad: Harry Kane fluffs lines in Der Klassiker as Jude Bellingham helps 10-man Real Madrid survive Kylian Mbappe's moment of madness and Jesse Lingard nets crucial goal for FC Seoul

This has been a week to forget for Kane. After missing a golden chance in Bayern's 2-1 home defeat to Inter in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, the former Tottenham star forgot his shooting boots again for Borussia Dortmund's visit to the Allianz Arena.

Bayern had the opportunity to open up a commanding eight-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen after the reigning champions' 0-0 draw with Union Berlin earlier on Saturday, but ultimately failed to see off a Dortmund side still reeling from their 4-0 hammering against Barcelona in the Champions League. However, Vincent Kompany's side would have almost certainly beaten BVB had Kane been more composed in front of goal.

In the first half, Kane should have scored with a close-range header and when he found himself through with only Gregor Kobel to beat, but on both occasions the Dortmund goalkeeper denied him. Kane then hit the woodwork late in the second half when he decided to go for a volley at the back post instead of stooping to nod in a cross, forcing Bayern to settle for a 2-2 draw.

Kane will likely still end his trophy curse given there are only five games left to play in the Bundesliga, but this was a huge opportunity missed. His England colleague Eric Dier didn't cover himself in glory either, with the 31-year-old caught on his heels for both of Dortmund's goals, and both men will have to up their games if Bayern are to have any hope of completing a comeback win over Inter at San Siro on Wednesday.

Carlo Ancelotti made the wise decision to rest Bellingham for Real Madrid's trip to Alaves on Sunday, after the midfielder's fruitless exertions in their 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League. Bellingham would have probably hoped to remain among the substitutes, especially after Eduardo Camavinga put Madrid in front in the 34th minute, but an act of stupidity from Kylian Mbappe changed everything.

Mbappe was shown a red card for a horrible high tackle on Antonio Blanco shortly before the interval, and when Alaves started the second half in the ascendency, Ancelotti had no choice but to throw on the big guns. Bellingham and Vinicius Jr both entered the action after the hour mark, with the former putting in a gritty display to help 10-man Real close out a vital 1-0 victory.

Bellingham did squander a good chance to score a second for the visitors, but his industry in the middle of the park made all the difference as Madrid overcame their numerical disadvantage. The final result ensured that Los Blancos remain only four points behind Barca in La Liga's title race with seven games to go, and if Bellingham is in the same mood when Arsenal arrive at Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, a miraculous comeback cannot be ruled out.

Mason Greenwood snapped a three-game scoring drought with a wonder goal for Marseille in their 3-2 win against Toulouse last week, which was the perfect response to recent criticism from head coach Roberto De Zerbi. But after Saturday's nightmare trip to Monaco, the former Manchester United forward finds himself back at square one.

Marseille suffered a chastening 3-0 defeat at Stade Velodrome that saw Monaco leapfrog them into second place in the Ligue 1 table. It was a damaging blow to Les Phoceens' hopes of Champions League qualification, with Lyon, Lille, Strasbourg and Nice also fighting for a top-four berth, and Greenwood didn't do nearly enough to impose himself on proceedings.

Indeed, the 23-year-old was given a brutal 3/10 rating by French newspaper L'Equipe, who called out his "nonchalant" body language and asserted that "a player of his talent must do much more". It's impossible to disagree with that statement.

Greenwood is Marseille's top scorer with an impressive 17 Ligue 1 goals to his name, but he still goes missing far too often. De Zerbi needs Greenwood to start taking these kinds of games by the scruff of the neck if Marseille are to return to Europe's elite stage, with a crucial trip to Lille now looming large on the horizon.

FC Seoul have not made the best start to the 2025 K League 1 season, winning just three of their opening eight games, but supporters will hope that Saturday's 2-2 draw against league leaders Daejeon Hana can be a turning point. Kim Gi-dong's side battled back from two goals down to steal a point on home soil, and Jesse Lingard was the man who completed their comeback with a well-taken effort 20 minutes from time.

Moon Seon-min, scorer of Seoul's first, was the architect as he embarked on a jinking run down the right flank before digging out a perfect cut-back for Lingard, who then calmly side-footed the ball past the Hana goalkeeper to level the scoreline. That was Lingard's second goal in as many home games for Seoul as they stayed within four points of the early pace-setters.

Lingard has three goals in eight K League appearances so far this term, which is already halfway to his final tally from 2024, and the ex-Manchester United star seems to be playing with a spring in his step again since being made Seoul captain. We shouldn't expect an England recall anytime soon, but Lingard might just attract some of Europe's big boys if he can keep it up.

Former Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie took 26 games to open his Liga scoring account for Las Palmas, finally getting off the mark in a 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad on April 6, and was largely struggling to live up to expectations. But it appears that a spark has been reignited in the Scotland international.

Wolves loanee Fabio Silva was the hero for Las Palmas as he netted a brace in a 3-1 victory against 10-man Getafe on Saturday, but it was McBurnie who grabbed the visitors' all-important second goal as he stroked the ball home after latching onto a pass from Alberto Moleiro. Incredibly, that was Las Palmas' first La Liga win of 2025, but it took them to within just one point of 17th-placed Alaves and significantly boosted their survival hopes.

Things won't get any easier for Las Palmas, with Atletico Madrid due to arrive at the Estadio Gran Canaria next weekend, but the squad will have been injected with some much-needed confidence after snapping their 12-game winless run. McBurnie also went viral for speaking in perfect Spanish in a post-match interview, as he said: "I want more goals. This year is difficult for me. I want to help the team." He is certainly doing that now.

Oli Burke has established himself as a key player for Werder Bremen since returning from a loan spell at Birmingham City last summer, scoring six goals in 23 appearances across all competitions. Two of those came in a pulsating trip to Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Sunday as Werder battled back from a goal down to earn a huge 2-1 win that puts them right in the mix for Europa League qualification.

Burke, who also found the net in Bremen's 2-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt last week, drew his team level with a lovely passing shot into the far corner after being played through one-on-one with the Stuttgart goalkeeper, and his second goal was even better. It looked like the spoils would be shared heading into the 90th minute at MHPArena, but Leonardo Bittencourt then found Burke with a clever through ball, and the Scotland striker applied a low first-time finish on the run that was goal-bound the moment it left his foot.

"I told the club from the start that I was capable of something like this," Burke said after the game. "I achieved it because the club believed in me and I gave it my all. I give 110 percent every day, on and off the pitch. The hard work is really paying off."

The Nottingham Forest academy graduate hasn't played for Scotland since 2020, but surely Steve Clarke will already be thinking about handing the 28-year-old a deserved recall.
