During Bayern Munich’s intense clash against Arsenal, Harry Kane managed to evade a potential red card despite delivering a vicious elbow to Gabriel Magalhaes’ face.
The England captain had been making a significant impact, securing Bayern’s lead with a penalty, after former Gunners academy product Serge Gnabry equalised for the German giants.
Despite initially falling behind due to Bukayo Saka’s precise shot, Kane’s goal had propelled Bayern to a 2-1 advantage in the Champions League quarter-final. As the match progressed, tension escalated, and Kane’s elbow incident with Gabriel heightened the stakes.

Although fortunate to only receive a yellow card, Bayern Munich undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief, recognising the potential ramifications had Kane been sent off in the crucial second half.
Yet, the ‘English commentators’ were heard saying it was unintentional. What are they protecting 🤔
