“I can’t hide what I lack”

TO in the entire history of football, There were great players with a reputation for being “cursed”:Michael Ballack, Arjen Robben, Gonzalo Higuain… The last totem of this long line is Harry Edward Kane (Walthamstow, 1993).

His case is worth studying. He has scored 406 goals in his career, making him England’s all-time leading scorer (66 goals) and the second-highest scorer of the Premiership era (213).the player with the most goals in the Eurocup playoffs (6)… and yet he still doesn’t know what it means to win a title.

Moreover, he lost five finals in which he participated: These are Euro 2020, the 2019 Champions League, two League Cups (2014–15 and 2020–21) and the German Super Cup (2024). “He is proud of his individual achievements. Winning trophies is the missing piece.”– assured Gareth Southgate after he swapped Tottenham for Bayern last summer for 95 million euros.

“I can’t hide the fact that this is the only thing missing in my career. The Champions League final is being held at Wembley and the European Championship is in Germany. It looks like someone is writing the script. I will try to do everything possible to make it happen,” he admitted. Kane when it is launched.

I can’t hide the fact that this is the only thing missing in my career.

Harry Kane

The first part of the film not only did not soften his reputation as a “curse”, but also strengthened it. Tottenham haven’t won the title since 2008… but Bayern lose for the first time in 12 yearsKane was awarded the Golden Boot (there’s little to ask of him) after scoring 36 goals in 32 league games, but he has seen the Bundesliga (he scored 11 in a row), Champions League, Cup and Super Cup slip away.

In his first 15 games in Munich, he had already said goodbye to two titles. He was effectively making his debut RB Leipzig Super Cup defeat (0-3) due to Dani Olmo’s hat-trickwith whom he has a three-goal lead in the fight for the Euro Golden Boot. “Of course I would like to score another hat-trick in the final and win it,” says the Spaniard.

However, the England captain is looking for a chance to turn things around in the European Cup final against Spain. “If anyone wants to bet, I’d bet on Kane winning trophies with Bayern. Moreover, he has a great opportunity to play with the national team this summer.” his former coach predicted Harry Redknapp.

Kane, who has been substituted with discomfort in the last two games, prefers to be cautious: “We have achieved something incredible. I am very proud, but we still have one more game to make history”. It’s not just Spain they’re playing in the final. He’s also facing his own bad luck. Can he break it?
