Facing a pressure spot-kick against Bayern Munich, Kane kept his cool to slot the ball home, securing a vital away goal for his team. However, it turns out Bellingham, playing for Real Madrid in the opposing team, tried to get into Kane's head before the penalty.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Kane revealed, "In the moment, I didn't know what he said, but I spoke to him afterwards and he admitted, 'I know you're going left of the keeper.'"
Despite the attempt to predict his shot, Kane remained composed. "It was actually nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away," he continued. "On the pitch, I didn't hear what he said, but I went left anyway."
The incident highlights the camaraderie between England teammates, even when on opposing sides in club competition. Bellingham's playful attempt to unsettle Kane showcases the growing confidence of the young midfielder, while Kane's composure under pressure demonstrates his experience and leadership qualities.
The 2-2 draw leaves the Champions League semi-final finely balanced ahead of the second leg. Both teams will be looking to exploit any weaknesses, but with Kane's focus seemingly unshakeable, Bellingham might need a new tactic next time around.
