It’s a story so implausible that anyone would think it was spam. And not. Despite himself, it is a harsh reality.
Harry Kane, one of the best forwards in the world, captain of England, world figure, has not won a single title at 30 years of age. Yes, he read that right. He has not won any trophy in his time at Tottenham, Millwall, Norwich, Leicester and now Bayern Munich.
And that’s what’s unusual. The Bavarians had been Bundesliga champions for 11 seasons and almost had it thinking about the assault on Europe, and it turns out that it was neither one nor the other: Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen snatched the league title from them and was also eliminated from the Cup German.
And bad fortune already seems to pursue him. His arrival in Germany seemed like an omen because in his debut they lost 3-0 against RB Leipzig and missed out on the German Super Cup. Added to this was the elimination in the DFB Pokal against the humble Saarbrücken in the round of 16, and the clash in the Bundesliga.
Almost what was left was the Champions League, but Real Madrid and the painful comeback at the Bernabéu 2-1 (4-3 on aggregate) crossed their path, a nightmare that began just two minutes after Kane left the team. field.
What remains is for Bayer Leverkusen to win the German Cup against Kaiserslautern, this May 25, and thus, as league runner-up, they would play in the Super Cup. Too much to ask? Xabi Alonso and Puerta and the European sensation team have everything to win the poker of titles, so nothing is certain.
It is true that Kane does not reduce his scoring production, that he is fighting for the European Golden Boot thanks to his 36 goals in Europe, but titles remain elusive. Is it a curse? To his relief, he is now on a team that at least allows him to get his hopes up. It wasn’t this time but there is no evil that lasts a hundred years… or is it?
