After losing to Spain, England finished runners-up at two consecutive European Championships, while Kane continued his titleless curse. After the referee blew the final whistle, Kane burst into tears.
Kane played 643 games in Tottenham's first team in 2010, but he has never tasted a trophy for club or country.
In order to break the curse of not being able to win the title, Kane left Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich in the summer window of 2023. Prior to Kane's arrival, Bayern had won the Bundesliga title for 11 consecutive seasons.
However, Kane made his first appearance, and Bayern lost 3-0 to Leipzig and failed to win the Germany Super Cup. In the Germany Cup, Bayern were eliminated by Saarbrücken in the second round, and Kane did not even get a chance to play. In the Champions League, Bayern were eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals, while in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen won the title by a huge margin of 17 points.
In his first season with Bayern, Kane scored 44 goals in 45 games, however, he still failed to win the title, once again missing out on the big four.
After England reached the final of the European Championships, Kane once again saw hope of winning the title. Speaking ahead of the Spain game, Kane said: "It's no secret that I've never won a title, but I'm increasingly motivated to change that fact. I have a chance to win trophies and a chance to make history for England. I'm willing to trade everything I have in my career for a championship. ”
However, Kane was unsuccessful in the European Championship final and was replaced by Ollie Watkins in the 61st minute. Although Palmer equalised for England at one point, it was Oyazabal's goal that gave England a second consecutive European Championship final defeat.
In his 14-year career of 643 games, Kane still continues the curse of never winning a title. Before Kane, stars such as Socrates, Letissier, Schneider, Di Natale, Defoe, Collymore, Baines and Basturk had never won a championship in their careers.
However, such a fate is too cruel for a top scorer like Kane. During his time at Tottenham, Kane won the Premier League Golden Boot three times, won the Golden Boot with six goals in the 2018 World Cup, and won the Champions League and Bundesliga Golden Boot in his first season after joining Bayern.
Compared with before, the 24-year-old Alvarez has won 14 titles including the World Cup, Copa America, Champions League, Premier League, and Copa Libertadores in just 5 years of his career.
Kane has the quality to win the championship, but he lacks the chance to win the championship, which may be the importance of choice. After the match, Kane burst into tears, perhaps realizing that winning had become the biggest curse of his career! Will he break such a spell again?
