Chris Sutton believes Jude Bellingham showed England team-mate Harry Kane a lack of respect during Real Madrid s draw at Bayern Munich.
Bellingham was seen giving Kane a bit of stick before he stepped up to take a penalty in .
Kane confidently converted the spot-kick to put Bayern 2-1 up before Vinicius Junior scored a penalty of his own to tie things up again.
After the game, the England and Bayern striker said: I spoke to him after and he said: I know you re going to go left of the keeper . But it was nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away.
I knew [Bellingham] was there but I didn t know what he said. But I went left anyway.

During punditry for TNT Sports, Michael Owen gave his verdict, saying: I think the referee sees him and Bellingham gives him a little wink as if to say, He s my mate I can say what I want kind of thing.
I can imagine he [Kane] is just shutting everything and anything out at that moment and it certainly didn t put him off.
A lot has been made of the moment between the two England players probably more than necessary and former Premier League striker Sutton has had his say.
Jude Bellingham disrespects Harry Kane
On Mail Sport s It s All Kicking Off podcast, co-host Ian Ladyman voiced his displeasure, which was echoed by Sutton.
Am I right to be a little bit irritated at Jude Bellingham with all that nonsense with Harry Kane? Ladyman asked. What s he playing at? I don t like it.
Sutton replied: I was surprised. Whether you like it or I like it, it doesn t matter.
Did Harry Kane like it? Does Harry Kane like it 24 hours on? I think he would feel there s a bit of a lack of respect there. I really, really do. They re off to the Euros together.

Sutton continued: There s a big competition, a big moment. You can understand the desperation for Bellingham, for Real Madrid to go through. But I thought it was a strange move. He s had a brilliant start to his career, exceptional at Dortmund.
He s gone to Madrid but maybe people are viewing him as someone who may be getting a bit above his station when he does stuff like that.
