News about Harry Kane

At the start of the season everything appeared to be on the right track for Tottenham, with the newly-appointed Ange Postecoglou guiding his side to eight victories in ten games as they enjoyed an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign. There was talk that Tottenham could win their first league title since 1961, but such discussions are now a distant memory, with Postecoglou's team currently in the midst of a miserable run of form as the season nears its conclusion. Although it is still mathematically possible, securing Champions League qualification looks as if it will be a tall order for Tottenham, who have lost their last three games including defeats against rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.

Erik ten Hag has admitted that Manchester United signed Rasmus Hojlund last summer because they were unable to bring in Harry Kane. Hojlund joined United for £72million from Atalanta for £72million, with Kane signing for Bayern Munich from Tottenham for £100million. So far in his first season at United Hojlund has scored eight goals in 26 Premier League appearances, while Kane has found the net 35 times in 31 Bundesliga games for Bayern.

IAN LADYMAN: Howard Webb (pictured top left) wants to help but the truth is he is not helping. The head of the refereeing body wants to introduce openness and transparency and dialogue into the relationship between match officials, football clubs and the public. His motives are honourable but standing in front of television cameras and talking about mistakes made by those he is paid to represent is the wrong move driven by the best intentions.

Chris Sutton has criticised Jude Bellingham for showing a 'lack of respect' towards Harry Kane by trying to throw his England team-mate off before his penalty in the Champions League semi-finals this week.  Kane eventually netted from the spot for Bayern Munich to put them 2-1 up in their first leg clash against Real Madrid, but Bellingham had been doing his best to distract him by muttering some words in his ear as he prepared to take his effort. At the time, the England captain insisted he was not aware what Bellingham had said, before learning later on he had told the striker he was going to strike his penalty down the left. 

The wholesome 2010s saw WAGs transform from popstars and models to childhood sweethearts that shunned fame. But it appears stiletto-wearing glamorous WAGs that seek the limelight are back, as various members for the England squad have been linked to glamour actresses and Instagram stars ahead of the 2024 Euros.But now, Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in relationships with glamorous stars, begging the question: is the super WAG back? Top: Katie Kane and Harry Kane, Fern Hawkins and Harry Maguire, Jordan Pickford and Megan Davison - all childhood sweethearts. Bottom: The new WAGS on the block. The latest superstar to join the chorus of WAGS is Iris Law.

Following their 2-2 draw on Tuesday - Real Madrid are extremely short favourites at 4/9 to win their Champions League semi-final tie against German heavyweights Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Harry Kane and Co are 13/8 outsiders to go to Spain and upset Madrid in enemy territory. Elsewhere, in the Outrights market, Real Madrid are 6/5 favourites to hoist the Champions League trophy in June, while Harry Kane and Co are third-favourites at 7/2.On the other side of the draw, Paris Saint-Germain are 5/2 to win their first UCL title, and Borussia Dortmund are the widest in the market at 8/1.

Jude Bellingham tried to throw off Harry Kane before he took his penalty for Bayern Munich against Real Madrid - and now it's been revealed what he said to his England team-mate.  Bayern and Madrid played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena that saw Vinicius Jr open the scoring before Leroy Sane levelled the scores. Kane ended up putting the German giants ahead from the spot before Vinicius equalised with a penalty of his own in the final ten minutes.  Bellingham attempting to intefere with Kane's penalty ended up being the biggest talking point of the game as analysts attempted to work out what the 20-year-old was saying to the ex-Tottenham striker to try to throw him off. 

Aurelien Tchouameni gatecrashed Thomas Muller's CBS interview after the captivating 2-2 draw between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Vinicius Jr scored twice for the visitors, whilst Leroy Sane and Harry Kane were on target for the hosts, as the Champions League semi-final remains finely poised going into the second leg on May 8. Muller cheekily joked that the Real Madrid star was 'listening' in a hope to gain an advantage for next week's reverse fixture at the Bernabeu by being present for the post-match interview.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti (left photo, right) has revealed he was forced to substitute Jude Bellingham (bottom right) against Bayern Munich due to cramp. The two sides played out an enthralling 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, with a brace from Vinicius Jnr cancelled out by goals from Leroy Sane and Harry Kane to leave the tie finely poised. Bellingham has had a stunning impact since arriving at Real last summer, with the 20-year-old scoring 21 goals in all competitions. However, eyebrows were raised when the Birmingham City youth product was withdrawn for Luka Modric with 15 minutes to play against Bayern.

Harry Kane believes Jude Bellingham was trying to talk him into missing his penalty during Bayern Munich's compelling 2-2 draw with Real Madrid on Tuesday. The bizarre moment came at 1-1 when Bellingham approached his England captain as he waited to take his spot kick 10 minutes into the second half. Kane blocked out the 20-year-old to score, only for Vinicius Junior to bury a late penalty of his own to put the Champions League semi-final clash on a knife edge ahead of next Wednesday's second leg. According to Spanish journalist Guillaume Ballague, the Real Madrid superstar had said to Kane 'you're going to kick it left'.

KIERAN GILL: The spoils were shared in Germany as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played out an enthralling 2-2 draw in their Champions League semi-final first leg tie on Tuesday. Thomas Tuchel's side started well at the Allianz Arena, but the Spanish giants struck first as Vinicius Jnr finished well after a delightful through ball from Toni Kroos. Bayern came out firing in the second half and Leroy Sane got them back on level terms following a fine run and finish, before Harry Kane put the hosts ahead from the spot when Jamal Musiala was fouled by Lucas Vazquez.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT THE ALLIANZ ARENA: It was perceived as the evening when a remarkable young talent might steal Harry Kane's thunder and that is precisely what happened. But, lest we forget, Jude Bellingham isn't the only shooting star in Real Madrid's galaxy. This was a night where he conducted and danced but did so in the broad shadow cast by Vinicius Junior, who bookended a marvellous Champions League semi-final with goals that in one breath teased the prospect of a Real victory and in the next rescued a draw. Before we get into the finer details, this was a belter of a tie. Truly, it was. And for a short while in the second half it seemed sure that it would be decided in Bayern's favour by Kane's penalty for 2-1.

Steve McManaman has claimed Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae had a 'night to forget' after Thomas Tuchel's side allowed Real Madrid to comeback to secure a 2-2 draw in their opening Champions League semi-final tie.  Vinicius Jnr opened the scoring at the Allianz Stadium, breaking free from some poor positioning from Kim before side-footing the ball around Manuel Neuer in goal.  Bayern hit back with two goals from Leroy Sane and a penalty from Harry Kane, but the home side failed to see out the match, with Kim conceding a penalty in the 83rd minute, bringing down Rodrygo inside the box. 

Fans noticed how instrumental Toni Kroos was in Real Madrid's opener on Tuesday night - by pointing Vinicius Jr in the direction to run. Vinicius Jr opened the scoring for the visitors at Bayern Munich 24 minutes into the Champions League semi-final first-leg.  Fans on X (formerly Twitter) were impressed with the 34-year-old's 'football IQ', and the way he was able to coach on the field against his former club.

The Champions League returns tonight with a battle between two heavyweights as Bayern Munich host Real Madrid in the first leg of their semi-final. Fortunately for football fans that is followed by another blockbuster match-up between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain at the Westfalenstadion tomorrow night. And Sky Bet are offering a Featured Cross-match RequestABet available for the two semi-final first legs.

Arguably the Three Lions' best two players (pictured), fans will spend the last few weeks of the season hoping neither get injured as they chase success at club level with two of Europe's giants. Neither player will be giving Germany a second thought, however. Yet. While their respective league titles are decided - Kane's Bayern Munich have lost the title to Bayer Leverkusen while Bellingham's Real Madrid are 11 points clear at the top of La Liga - there is the small matter of the Champions League to decide.

Sky Bet are offering three Price Boosts and a Scorecast Boost for tonight's highly-anticipated Champions League clash between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid at Allianz Arena. We will be taking a look at the price boosts first - of which include Jude Bellingham to score or assist at 11/10, Eduardo Camavinga to commit 3+ fouls at 3/1, and Harry Kane to score a header at 8/1. Meanwhile, the scorecast boost - which is valued at an eye-catching 80/1 - needs Rodrygo to score and Real Madrid to win 2-1.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Even Thomas Tuchel couldn't help himself in the end. He has never favoured the vogue of discussing individuals over the collective, but Jude Bellingham just has that special knack of coaxing half a yard from his opposition. 'Extraordinary,' was the summary from Bayern Munich's manager, which might yet prove to be a case of praising your own executioner in light of this evening's Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. But on went Tuchel: 'How he has progressed shows his level of personality - it's only possible with a huge personality. Everyone who plays for Madrid plays with the pressure of the shirt. He handles it like he's never done anything else. We are well aware of it and will try to find solutions.'

Harry Kane was reportedly Carlo Ancelotti's number one target for Real Madrid last summer - but the England captain joined Bayern Munich instead. The Real manager had wanted the talisman, then at Spurs, ahead of anyone else, including Jude Bellingham, who has been a revelation in Madrid since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund. However, a senior figure at Real Madrid vetoed the bid for Kane last summer, because they had their eyes on a different star. 

MATT BARLOW: Solid, dependable, vocal. Organising and improving others around him. Also, reviving hopes of an England recall with his international career stuck on 49 caps. It is a classic from the redemption genre. Dier joined Bayern for £3.4million on deadline day, initially on a short-term deal until the end of the season when his Tottenham contract was set to expire but quickly reached the preset clause for appearances to trigger another year in Munich. Steffen Freund, a Spurs icon working as a co-commentator for RTL Germany, Servus TV Austria and international Bundesliga coverage, was among the minority who thought he would be a hit in the Bundesliga.

The last time Harry Kane reached this stage of the Champions League he was injured and unable to contribute in the usual way. With Tottenham trailing 3-0 on aggregate at Ajax, Kane made his way down from his seat in the stands to the dressing room to deliver a half-time pep talk. Whether the inspiration came from him or boss Mauricio Pochettino, who also spoke, or neither of them, Lucas Moura responded with a hat trick. Spurs went into the final in Madrid and Kane, after two months out, declared himself fit. Moura went back to the bench. Liverpool won 2-0. Heartbreak for Tottenham who did not expect to win the Champions League but were beginning to wonder if their name was on the cup. It wasn't. It rarely is these days. Five years on, Kane is still waits for the major trophy nobody will begrudge him after a decade of pure excellence.

The Manchester United loanee rejoined the club in January after being exiled by Erik ten Hag and has begun to replicate the form that earned him a £73million move to the Red Devils in 2021. Sancho took his tally in the German top-flight to 40 with a delightful curling effort into the top corner after only 20 minutes of the clash. The effort took him one past the record of former Nottingham Forest and Arsenal winger Tony Woodcock, who made made 155 appearances for Koln across two spells in the 1970s and 80s.

The England captain (pictured) netted a brace for the German side as they beat Frankfurt 2-1 in the Bundesliga to solidify their grip on second place in the division. Kane has now netted 42 goals in all competitions this season in 42 games after making the move to Germany from Tottenham in a £100million deal last summer. He has been one of the only success stories for Bayern in a season that has seen them sack their manager and lose the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 years - fans have, however, started a petition for Thomas Tuchel to stay.
