Overview

  • Harry Kane received his fifth yellow card during Bayern Munich's 3-1 win over Mainz, ruling him out of the next match against RB Leipzig.
  • The booking came after Kane held onto the ball following a disputed foul call, prompting referee Bastian Dankert to issue the caution.
  • Kane publicly criticized Dankert, calling the decision unjust and accusing the referee of seeking personal attention.
  • The striker also denounced the Bundesliga's disciplinary rule that mandates a suspension after five yellow cards in a season, comparing it unfavorably to the Premier League's mid-season reset system.
  • Bayern Munich's title celebration was postponed as Bayer Leverkusen's win kept the championship race alive, leaving Kane to potentially watch his team secure the trophy from the stands.
