The "mockery" of Harry Kane the "curse of irrelevance," never ends.
The "mockery" of Harry Kane (30, Bayern Munich), the "curse of irrelevance," never ends.
"Kingsley Coman (27, Munich) missed out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 years due to the Kane curse," said the foreign media 'BInSport' on the 16th (Korea time). "Leverkusen's victory was not only the first in history, but also highlighted the 'Kane curse'."
"Kane is the best striker in the world, yet he has failed to lift the trophy," he added.
Coman, who played for Juventus, has been in a Munich jersey since 2015. "Having been crowned league champion every season since the age of 16 (including his time at Juventus), Comand's 'winning streak' has come to a halt," said BeInSport. Is Kane's curse real or just a coincidence?", mocking Kane.
Kane moved to Munich just before the season to shake off his 'irrelevance' at Tottenham, but finished the Bundesliga empty-handed. 'Contenders' Bayer 04 Leverkusen clinched the title with a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen in the 29th round of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga on Friday at the BayArena in Leverkusen, Cologne, Germany.
With the three points, Leverkusen has 79 points (25 wins, 4 draws). Leverkusen's league title is assured because second-place Bayern Munich and third-place VfB Stuttgart (both on 63 points) will not reach 79 points even if they win all of their remaining matches.
It would be the first league title in the history of the club, which was founded in 1904.
Kane is empty-handed again. Kane, who has been linked with Tottenham since joining the club's youth team in 2004, traveled to Germany this season in search of a 'trophy' but had to watch Leverkusen win the title.
He's been a star for Tottenham. He scored 30 English Premier League (EPL) goals last season, giving him 213 career EPL goals and moving him past Wayne Rooney (208) into second place on the all-time EPL goalscoring list.
Kane's long career at Tottenham hasn't exactly been one for the 'trophies', and in his first season in Munich, he didn't even make it to the top of the league. Coman, on the other hand, has won the league title every season since the age of 16 with Juventus. However, he failed to reach the top of the league when he was paired with Kane.
There is still hope for Kane. Munich are in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. They drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the first leg. They will play the second leg on the 18th.
