WOLFSBURG, GERMANY - MAY 09: Harry Kane of Munich reacts after missing a penalty during the Bundesliga match between VfL Wolfsburg and FC Bayern München at Volkswagen Arena on May 09, 2026 in Wolfsburg, Germany. (Photo by Marvin Ibo Guengoer - GES Sportfoto/Getty Images) | Getty Images Harry Kane doesn’t miss penalties often. In fact, Kane converted 10 out of 10 of his Bundesliga penalties this season — until Bayern’s 1-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg. Bayern earned a penalty kick in the 35th minute after Michael Olise caught Konstantinos Koulierakis’s oustretched leg. As per standard procedure, Kane stepped up to take the penalty, but then, something unimaginable happened — he missed. At first glance, it appeared as if Kane simply blasted his shot over the goal. But, upon closer inspection, the Englishman’s left foot slipped just before striking the ball, throwing him off balance and sending the ball into an ecstatic ocean of Wolfsburg supporters. However, there may be more to the story of Kane’s first Bundesliga penalty miss this season, and it involves a savvy piece of sabotage. According to footage captured by Sky cameras (via @iMiaSanMia), Jeanuël Belocian was spotted trampling the penalty spot ahead of Kane’s miss. This could very well have caused the 32-year-old striker to slip and miss his penalty. On the other hand, tramples the penalty spot, and that isn’t where Kane plants his foot before striking the ball. The devil is in the detail, but the detail is still open for interpretation on this one. What do you think? Is Belocian’s practice in the dark arts to blame? Or did Kane simply slip and miss his penalty? *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
