It seems that Harry Kane's search for a club trophy will continue on for at least another five years, as his first season with Bayern Munich has been nothing short of disastrous. Arsenal fans were quick to capitalize on the striker's misfortune, as he has yet to lift a trophy with his new team.
Despite a remarkable personal performance, with an impressive 44 goals and 12 assists in just 45 games, Kane's move from Tottenham to Munich was driven by his desire to break his trophy drought. However, things have not gone according to plan. His debut with Bayern saw them suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig. And to make matters worse, they were shockingly knocked out of the German Cup by a third-tier team, Saarbrucken.
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Bayern were only moments away from securing a spot in the Champions League final, but two late goals by Joselu dashed their hopes and sent Real Madrid to Wembley instead. On top of this, their 11-year winning streak in the Bundesliga was ended by Bayer Leverkusen. The team managed by Xabi Alonso had a spectacular season, becoming the first team in history to go unbeaten in the Bundesliga. They are now just two games away from achieving an incredible "invincible treble."
Meanwhile, Kane was absent from Bayern's final game of the season against Hoffenheim, where they initially took a 2-0 lead but ended up losing 4-2. This result, combined with Stuttgart's 4-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach, pushed Bayern down to third place in the table, their lowest position since 2011.
This news was met with delight by fans of Arsenal and other clubs, with many taking to social media to revel in Kane's misfortune. One Twitter user, @dhur1m, even commented that Kane has "the worst luck in football history." Another fan, West Stand13, couldn't resist making a dig at Kane's former club, Tottenham, stating, "Kane leaves Spurs... turns Bayern into Spurs... it's just superb." @sir_obafoluke also chimed in, expressing their belief that Tottenham was not the root of Kane's problems.
On top of finishing third in the Bundesliga, Bayern's failure means they will not be participating in next season's German Super Cup. This extends Kane's wait for a club trophy until at least May 2025. One Twitter user, @a_abbkr, humorously noted that Kane had already lost another trophy before the 2024/25 season even began. Another fan, @__T_touch, sympathized with Kane, stating that they felt sorry for him and believed that his move to Bayern may not lead to a Champions League victory.
As more and more fans joined in on the conversation, it became clear that the phrase "The Harry Kane effect" was gaining popularity. However, @topgooner100 suggested that the real reason for Bayern's failure was simply because it's "Spursy."
While Kane continues to recover from a back injury, he will be eager to regain full fitness in time for the Euro 2024 tournament. With England, he still has a chance to lift a trophy this summer and put an end to his long wait for silverware at the club level.
