Kane Suspended for Title-Deciding Match Against Leipzig

Harry Kane will miss Bayern Munich’s crucial Bundesliga clash against RB Leipzig, where a win would secure the league title, after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in a 3-0 victory over Mainz. Kane and his manager Vincent Kompany both criticized the booking—given for time wasting—as well as the Bundesliga’s yellow card accumulation rules, with Kane calling the suspension system 'crazy' and suggesting it should be reset midseason like in the Premier League. Despite his disappointment at being sidelined for what could be his first major career trophy, Kane has vowed to support his teammates and celebrate the achievement. Kompany emphasized that Kane’s absence does not diminish his contributions this season, while teammates expressed determination to win the title for him. The incident reignited debate over yellow card rules in German football, with Kane hoping for future reform. With Bayern holding an eight-point lead and only a few games left, their title win appears all but assured.
