Harry Kane has called out a Bundesliga referee as he criticised a crazy rule in the that will see him Bayern Munich's title deciding match.

Bayern Munich will have the opportunity to win a historic 24th Bundesliga title on Saturday when they play RB Leipzig away from home in a crucial match.

Should the German side come away from the match in Leipzig with a win, they will be crowned champions with 78 points, leaving second-placed Bayer Leverkusen unable to catch them regardless of the result of their remaining matches.

However, Bayern will be without key player Kane, who is facing a one game suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards this season, and he's not happy about it.

Throughout his career, rival fans have teased Kane for the fact that, despite clearly being one of the best forwards in the world, he is yet to win a major trophy for a club or country.

Therefore, it seems almost cruel that the Englishman will be denied the opportunity to play in Bayern's title decider, as Bundesliga rules state that once a player gets their fifth yellow card of the season, they cannot play in their side's next match.

Kane was cautioned during the 3-0 win over Mainz last weekend as he committed a foul late in the first half and didn't give the ball back straight away, leading to a booking by referee Bastian Dankert, and it's safe to say that he isn't happy with the decision.

"First of all, I think it was a crazy decision. It's never a yellow card. Unfortunately, sometimes people come to the Allianz Arena and try to make a name for themselves," Kane told German outlet BILD.

"That's why I'm really disappointed that I got the yellow card, because of course I knew I already had four."

"And secondly, I think the rule is crazy anyway. 5 yellow cards in 34 games means a suspension."

"That's crazy. It should be like in the Premier League.

"I'm missing an important game because I received a yellow card in the first game of the season. That doesn't make sense.

"Maybe they should reconsider that for the future. It's kind of my story that I'll miss the game in Leipzig. But no worries, I'll celebrate more than anyone else."
