Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane will face off in the Champions League semifinals after Bayern Munich and Real Madrid were selected.
Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, both England internationals, are preparing for a Champions League “war” as they both aim to make it to the final before focusing on Euro 2024. Bellingham, who moved Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid, and Kane, who moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich last year, both had a key role in their sides’ Champions League quarterfinal wins over Premier League opponents.
Bellingham scored a vital penalty kick and Kane scored a penalty kick in the first leg of the match at the Emirates Stadium as Real Madrid defeated Manchester City in a penalty shootout. Bayern defeated Arsenal. With a combined record of 20 European Cups, these two of Europe’s most decorated clubs will square off in an exciting semifinal matchup as a result of their victories.
For the first time since 2020, no Premier League team has advanced to the semifinals, but Kane is sure that Bellingham and his performances will enthrall the English crowd. Kane said, “Jude is a top player; he’s had a fantastic season.”
“I’m really happy for him but it will be another war against his team but that’s the experiences that we both went abroad to try to achieve, to play in these big nights in the Champions League, to play in these big semi-finals.” “I’m sure a lot of English fans will be watching both of us, so it will be enjoyable. We must put our own needs first. Sure, I’ll say hello, but as soon as we go onto the pitch, business takes priority.”
With one major title left to win in his career, Kane’s goal is to win the Champions League final on June 1 at Wembley. In response to the question of whether performing at Wembley was Bellingham’s and his ambition, he said, “For both of us, for sure,”
He continued: “With Wembley being our national stadium, it’s extra motivation there for us but there are two games ahead of us before that, which are going to be really tough so we have to focus on that.” “It’s going to be a really difficult game for us,” he said, acknowledging the difficulty of playing Real Madrid. “Real Madrid are a big club with amazing history in the Champions League.”
“But that’s what the semi-finals of the Champions League are all about, the biggest teams, so we enjoy this tonight and then prepare for that game in a couple of weeks.”
