Bayern Munich’s disastrous season blamed on the “Harry Kane curse” by German media
Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich has not gone as planned. The German media is beginning to blame Kane for Bayern’s underperformance this season, despite his impressive goal-scoring record. Kane, who established himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League during his time at Tottenham, joined Bayern over the summer in search of silverware. However, it seems that he may have to wait longer to lift a trophy.
Since joining Bayern, Kane has been in top form, scoring 22 league goals in 17 appearances. His performances have been exceptional, but unfortunately, they do not seem to be enough for Bayern to secure a title. Currently, Bayern is in second place in the Bundesliga, seven points behind Bayern Leverkusen, who are unbeaten this season. Bayern’s hopes of winning the DFB Pokal were also dashed when they were knocked out by a third-division side. The Champions League now appears to be their best chance at winning a trophy this season.
The German media has started to discuss the “curse of Kane,” claiming that Kane’s arrival has brought bad luck to the team. BILD published an article titled “Bayern and the sinister curse of Harry Kane,” highlighting the fact that despite his high price tag, Kane has never won a title in his career. The article also mentioned Bayern’s recent defeats in important matches, including their loss to Werder Bremen. However, the article defended Kane’s scoring record and acknowledged that the blame cannot solely be placed on him.
The conclusion of the article was a sharp remark, suggesting that if Bayern end the season without a title, Kane’s “curse” will become more sinister. It emphasizes that regardless of his goal-scoring prowess, Kane will not be immune from criticism if the team fails to win a trophy.
