The Three Lions team-mates went head-to-head in Germany on Tuesday

Harry Kane reportedly entered the Real Madrid dressing room to speak to Jude Bellingham following Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg.

Bellingham attempted to put off his England captain when he took a penalty in the second half of the match at the Allianz Arena.


The game is evenly poised at 2-2 heading into the second leg at the Bernabeu next week after a late spot-kick from Vinicius Junior.

The Brazilian had given his team the lead midway through the first half before two goals in the space of four minutes turned the game on its head.

Leroy Sane fired in at the near post before Lucas Vazquez was penalised for fouling Jumal Musiala in his own 18-yard box.

As Kane prepared to take his penalty, Real midfielder Bellingham attempted to put him off by saying something in his ear.

The pair will be on the same side at the Euros this summer but are going head-to-head for a spot in this season's Champions League final.

Kane remained calm and scored from 12 yards to put his team in front for the first time.

The former Tottenham striker told TV afterwards that he did not hear what Bellingham said to him.

Kane told TNT Sports: "I don't know what he was saying. I saw him mumbling something. I’d have to ask him what he actually said.

"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 and put me off but thankfully it was ok for me."

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague claimed on X that Kane entered the Real dressing room to ask Bellingham what he said.

Balague says Bellingham laughed as he realised that Kane had not heard his comment on the pitch.

In the mixed zone afterwards, Kane confirmed he had spoken to the former Birmingham star and revealed what he said.

He 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'.

"But it was nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away. Actually, on the pitch, I didn't know what he said. I knew he was there but I didn't know what he said. But I went left anyway."

The two teams will play the second leg at the Bernabeu next Wednesday, with Borussia Dortmund or Paris Saint-Germain waiting in the final.

Bayern have missed out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2012 and the Champions League is their last remaining hope of silverware.

Kane said games such as Tuesday's is the reason why he chose to join Bayern last summer.

He added: "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.

"I'm here for many years. It's not a one-off year. At the start of the season the expectation was to win trophies.

"The Champions League is the biggest one. If we can somehow get our hands on that one it would be an amazing season.

"These are the big games. The atmosphere today was incredible. This is why I want to be playing in these big games, these big moments.

"It's a little disappointing, once we got 2-1 ahead we had two or three good chances, especially from set plays but this is a Champions League semi-final, we expected a tough game.

"Real Madrid are one of the best teams in Europe and they can punish you with one or two actions like they did today so of course we are disappointed we didn't get the win but it's all to play for next week."
