Harry Kane fired Bayern Munich's second goal from the penalty spot in the Champions League final semi-final second leg against Real Madrid - but only after some words from England team-mate Jude Bellingham

Harry Kane has revealed what Jude Bellingham said to try and put him off his penalty.

Real Madrid star Bellingham attempted to use mind games by predicting his England team mate would fire his spot kick to the left. Kane insisted that he was so focused that he did not take it in and only discovered what was said after the game when Bellingham told him.

Bayern Munich striker Kane 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."

England captain Kane also has his sights set on reaching Wembley for the Champions League final and keeping his dream alive of winning the first trophy of his career.

Bayern have raised their game in Europe and, after putting Arsenal out in the last round, Kane says they can beat Real Madrid even if the Spanish giants will now be favourites to go through.

"We have come through three big games pretty well. The two Arsenal games, the first Real Madrid game here but it all comes down to next week and we have to perform on that occasion.

"I'm feeling good, I said before the game, I'm in good form and I feel confident and I'll get chances and hopefully I can put some away.

"It's amazing. Bayern Munich v Real Madrid in the semi final of the Champions League, is as big as it gets. The Bernabeu will be the same next week and so this is the experience I want to take in my stride and this is what I came here for.

"To have this opportunity is what I'm really excited about. It was nice out there, I felt I had a decent game, could have done better with a couple of half chances. But overall I know next week will be similar and I'm excited for that."
