Harry Kane in Leipzig was sitting on the stands because of a yellow lock. Shortly before the end, the Bayern star was in the interior. Is there any further punishment?
Although Harry Kane was not allowed to participate at the weekend due to a yellow lock, FC Bayern’s attacker was present directly on the field. In the added time of the game at RB Leipzig (3: 3) he was on the sidelines, ready to celebrate the supposed championship title. The excursion remains for him without consequences.
At the request of the German Press Agency, the German Football Association (DFB) said that there was no interior ban for yellow-locked players. The captain of the English national team was therefore allowed to stay next to the Bayern Bank.
Previously, Kane had spent long distances of the game on the VIP grandstand of the Leipzig stadium-accompanied by his brother Charlie. Only after Leroy Sané’s goal for the meantime 3-2 for the German record champion went towards Bayern-Bank
However, the hope for the early winning gain was only brief. In added time, Leipzig’s Yussuf Poulsen equalized to 3: 3. This made it clear: FC Bayern had to postpone the final decision on the championship.
Despite the setback, Kane showed up after the final whistle. Together with Thomas Müller, he went into the fan curve and celebrated the almost safe title win with his teammates – even if he is not yet officially sealed.
The British tabloid “The Sun” commented on the action with a play on words: “Harry Pain” – in allusion to the unfulfilled title hope. The newspaper continued: “Harry Kane’s dreams of the first title stopped for the time being.” In his career, Kane continues to be waiting for a significant winning. On the coming matchday against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the 31-year-old can stand on the pitch again.
