Harry Kane's curse

England went into the Euro 2024 final with several players expected to make a difference: Jude Bellingham, who won almost everything with Real Madrid, and Harry Kane, who scored 44 goals for Bayern Munich this season, per Transfermarkt.

Spain winning

At the end of 90 minutes, however, it was Spain who beat Kane and Bellingham to win their fourth European title.

Hundreds of goals, zero trophies

The problem for England's number 9 is that he has been crowned the most cursed player in football when it comes to trophies.

Not with Tottenham

Kane played for Tottenham for 12 seasons, but did not win any trophies with the club.

... nor with Bayern

Kane then signed for Bayern to win his first trophies, but the Bavarians failed to win the Bundesliga after 11 consecutive titles!

Bittersweet season in Germany

They also failed to win the German Cup and lost in the Champions League semi-finals, after a crazy last-minute comeback by Real Madrid.

44 goals, 12 assists and 0 trophies

And all this while Kane scored 44 goals in 45 games for Bayern, as well as providing 12 assists. Despite those stats, Bayern failed to win the championship for the first time in 12 years.

Not at his best at the Euros

He has not fared better with England. Kane scored three goals in Germany, but did not look at his best at the Euros.

Substituted by Southgate

What's more, in the 61st minute, Gareth Southgate replaced him with Watkins, who immediately made his presence felt and contributed to Cole Palmer's 1-1. These were England's best moments in the final, without Kane on the pitch.

Oyarzabal shattered his dream

However, the curse of the England captain seems to apply to the team as well, as Oyarzabal scored the late winner for Spain to clinch the title for La Roja.

6 finals played, 6 finals lost

Harry Kane's record is extremely painful: he lost one Champions League final (2019), two Carabao Cups (2015 and 2021), one German Super Cup (2024) and two European Championships (2021 and 2024).

How long will Kane's curse continue?

Will Kane finally win a trophy next season, or will his painful curse continue?
