Harry Kane has revealed Jude Bellingham said "you're going to go left of the keeper" as the Real Madrid midfielder tried to put off his England team-mate before the Bayern Munich forward took his penalty in the Champions League semi-final. Bellingham could be seen mumbling something to Kane as the Bayern striker stepped up to take the spot-kick in the 57th minute of the first leg. However the England captain placed his penalty to the right of goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to give Bayern a 2-1 lead at Allianz Arena - although Vinicius Jr later also converted from the spot as the match ended all square. Kane said afterwards he did not hear what Bellingham said on the pitch but that the 20-year-old told him after the match. “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'. "On the pitch, I knew he was there but I didn’t know what he said. But I went left anyway. “It was nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away." It was Kane's 43rd goal in 43 games in all competitions this season and helps Bayern in their aim of finishing the season on a high, with the Champions League the only trophy they remain in contention for. Kane left Tottenham last summer for an initial £86m in the hope of winning trophies with 11-time Bundesliga champions Bayern. But Bayer Leverkusen have already halted that run while Thomas Tuchel's side were knocked out of the German Cup in the second round by third-tier side Saarbrucken. The first leg leaves the tie finely balanced for the return on Wednesday at the Bernabeu to decide who goes to the final on 1 June at Wembley. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c9rzn35e2dko

Among the armour here is a British Army Husky tactical support vehicle which had been donated to Ukraine. Its windscreen is covered in bullet-holes. Opposite the Husky I can see Western tanks that had been transferred to the Ukrainian military. There's an American Abrams which had been damaged on the battlefield. A German Leopard tank, too. In fact, there's a long line of German armour. And above it a sign: "History is repeating itself." The Russian authorities want the public to think that the war in Ukraine and World War Two have a common denominator: Russia as the victim, under attack from enemies abroad. In reality, the two wars are very different. In 1941 Germany invaded Russia. In 2022 Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war trophy exhibition is packed out. In bright sunshine Russians are crowding round the military hardware, posing for photographs in front of tank gun barrels and, from the sounds of it, thoroughly enjoying the display. "It's incredible. Jaw-dropping," says Natalya, who's here with her husband and small daughter. "It's amazing to think that our guys managed to get these trophies." The Russians have not invented the wheel here. In the past Ukraine has displayed Russian military hardware that had been captured by the Ukrainian army. But for the Russian authorities, this exhibition has, I believe, several key objectives. The first is to reinforce the Kremlin's narrative that, in Ukraine, Nato - and the West as a whole - are waging war on Russia. The aim here is to demonise the West yet further in the minds of Russians. In reality, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine: something Western leaders had urged Moscow not to do. It was President Vladimir Putin's personal decision to launch what Russia still refers to as the "special military operation" in Ukraine. With supplies of arms and ammunition, the West came to Kyiv's defence. It does not seek to destroy Russia, despite what Russian officials may claim. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68934205
