No time? blue News summarizes for you
- England loses 2:1 to Spain in the European Championship final.
- England's record goalscorer Harry Kane thus remains without a title win in his career.
- He reaps scorn and ridicule online.
The day before the European Championship final against Spain, Harry Kane says: "I'd swap my goalscoring trophies for this trophy in a heartbeat." His wish does not come true, Harry Kane once again loses out in the final. But the captain, who was substituted in the 61st minute with the score at 0:1, also received another individual award: Harry Kane shared the top scorer's crown with five other players thanks to his three European Championship goals. There is no joy.
The title curse of Harry Kane
In the 2016/17 season, Harry Kane came very close to winning his first title, but ultimately finished the season in second place behind Chelsea with Tottenham. In the following years, he also had nothing to say in the league title race with Spurs.
In 2019, he made it to the final of the Champions League with Tottenham, but lost 2-0 to Liverpool. In 2015 and 2021, things didn't work out in the Carabao Cup either, with defeats to both Chelsea and Man City in the final. It seemed as if Harry Kane would have to change clubs for a title win to happen. Bayern Munich seemed to be the perfect address.
However, he was beaten 3-0 by RB Leipzig in the Super Cup at the start of the season. It can happen, the championship title is reserved for Bayern anyway. Think again! Kane also breaks this streak - before signing Harry Kane, Bayern Munich had won 11 league titles in a row.
And Kane also remains untitled in the national team. After losing the 2021 European Championship final, England also lost the 2024 final. A 2:1 defeat against Spain.
