'Crazy decision' rules Kane out of title-clinching game

BERLIN: Harry Kane has slammed the decision to hand him a yellow card on Saturday which looks set to rule him out of Bayern Munich's title-clinching match at RB Leipzig.

- 

The card is Kane's fifth of the league season, ruling him out of this week's trip to RB Leipzig, where Bayern will clinch the 34th Bundesliga title with victory.

Kane, who has famously never tasted team success in his career, will now be forced to watch from the sidelines.

Speaking with reporters after the match, the 31-year-old hit out at the “crazy” decision.

"It’s a crazy, crazy decision. It's never ever a yellow card. Unfortunately, sometimes people come to the Allianz and try and make a name for themselves,’ Kane said, referring to referee Bastian Dankert.

Kane critiqued the Bundesliga rule which counts yellow cards across an entire season.

“They should have a reset like the Premier League, where halfway through the season it resets. I’m missing a big game because I got a yellow card in the first game of the season.

“It hurts, it stings. There are big games ahead and I don’t want to miss them.”
