Harry Kane received a yellow card in the 45+1 minute of Bayern Munich’s match against Mainz, knowing it would cost him dearly. The English star had already accumulated four yellow cards this season, and with this fifth, he will miss Bayern’s upcoming match—a potential title-clinching game.

Kane was particularly frustrated because next week’s game could have been a special day for him—the day he finally lifts his first major trophy. The striker, often mocked for his lack of silverware, was eager to celebrate his first Bundesliga title.

After the match, Kane expressed his anger with strong words against the referee: “The yellow card I received was ridiculous. That incident didn’t deserve a booking. Unfortunately, sometimes referees come to the Allianz Arena wanting to make a name for themselves. That’s why I was so angry—I knew I already had four yellows. The suspension rule for five yellow cards is also absurd. What kind of rule is it where you get suspended after five yellows in 34 games? It’s ridiculous. It should be like the Premier League, where yellows reset after 19 games. I’m missing a crucial game for my team because of a yellow card from the first match of the season. That’s not logical. I hope they change this rule in the future. Anyway, I’ll miss the Leipzig game, but don’t worry—I’ll celebrate harder than anyone.”
