He is the Top Scorer in the League, UCL, and Euro… Kane’s Terrible ‘No Title Jinx’
Germany's most winning team Munich fails to win in first year… Euro final also frustrated.
Harry Kane (England), who is considered the world's best goalscorer but has a stronger image as the 'King of the Uncrowned', did not have the last laugh at Euro 2024.
England, which Kane plays for, lost 1-2 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany on the 15th (Korean time) and came in second place. 토토사이트 순위
England, which has not won a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup, once again failed to win another trophy.
In addition, Kane's 'no-trophy jinx' continued.
Kane, the current captain of the England national team and the top scorer in international matches (66 goals), boasts a personal record that is not lacking.
He has been known as the world's best striker, winning the English Premier League (EPL) scoring title three times and winning the 2018 Russia World Cup scoring title (6 goals).
However, such performances have not been able to lead to victory for the national team or his club team.
He made his professional debut in 2009 and played for Tottenham Hotspur in England until last year, finishing second in the 2016-2017 EPL season, second in the 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League (UCL), and second in the 2014-2015 and 2020-2021 League Cups.
There was a lot of attention on whether Kane's 'uncrowned career' would end with his transfer to Bayern Munich, a prestigious team in the German Bundesliga, for the 2023-2024 season, but he did not win a championship in his first year with this team.
Munich holds the record for the most championships in the Bundesliga with 33 titles and the DFB Pokal with 20, and has also won the UCL six times. However, they finished third in the league last season and were eliminated in other competitions, including the UCL.
After Kane made his debut for the senior national team in 2015, England was eliminated in the round of 16 at Euro 2016 and finished fourth at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where Kane was the top scorer.
He reached the final of Euro 2020 but lost to Italy on penalties, and was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
He had another chance to advance to the final at this Euro, but it fell through again.
Last season, he was the top scorer in both the Bundesliga (36 goals) and UCL (8 goals, tied for 1st), and this Euro he tied for 1st place with 5 players including Dani Olmo (Spain) with 3 goals, but again failed to lead the team to victory.
In the final against Spain that day, Harry Kane, who was substituted for Ollie Watkins in the 16th minute of the second half without showing any notable performance, had to watch the team's defeat from the bench.
In an interview with ITV in the UK after the game, Kane said, "It's hard to put into words how we're all feeling right now.
It was a tough game," and "It's really hard to accept conceding a goal late in the game."
He said, "We missed our chance.
It's not easy to get to a final like this.
When you get a chance, you have to seize it, but we couldn't do it again."
He added, "It's really painful, and the pain will last a long time."
Meanwhile, England manager Gareth Southgate explained Kane's early substitution, saying, "It was a very tough competition for him physically.
He didn't reach the level we expected," and "We judged that Watkins' freshness would allow him to apply better pressure because the game was difficult."
