"After the Brazilian correctly guessed the 2021 winners, Chelsea, Burn congratulated the Newcastle skipper before adding, sarcastically: "Kai Havertz, my guy." Havertz was the winning goalscorer as Chelsea defeated Manchester City in the 2021 UEFA Champions League Final. Burn shot a look to somebody off-camera while laughter could be heard in the background as Burn referenced an altercation between the pair after a Newcastle-Chelsea fixture a few seasons ago."
"During the 2021-22 season, Havertz escaped a red card after elbowing the Newcastle defender in the head and tensions were reignited months later at the beginning of the 2022-23 campaign. In the final stages of Newcastle's 1-0 win over the Blues in November 2022, both sets of players became involved in a brawl which featured Burn and Havertz squaring up to each other."
Dan Burn appeared in a Newcastle social video with captain Bruno Guimaraes guessing the last 20 Champions League winners. After Guimaraes correctly named Chelsea as 2021 winners, Burn sarcastically referenced Kai Havertz, the 2021 final goalscorer. Burn glanced off-camera and laughter followed as the comment alluded to a prior on-field altercation between the pair. In 2021-22 Havertz avoided a red card after elbowing Burn, and tensions escalated again during a brawl in November 2022 when Newcastle beat Chelsea 1-0. Havertz has since joined Arsenal and will undergo knee surgery, with Viktor Gyokeres set to start in his absence.
