Fans react to Harry Kane refusing to lift a trophy against his former side

The internet may not be a fan of ‘trophyless’ Harry Kane.

Another added that his decision to do so was rather motivated by his lack of experience in lifting a title and not otherwise. A supporter claimed that Bayern were definitely on track to win titles and end Kane’s trophy ‘curse’ once and for all. A fan joked that Spurs somehow found a way to ‘rob’ the forward of his happiness once again.

Bayern Munich are yet to lose a single game in pre-season. With 3 wins and a draw in their last four games, Bayern will take on WSG Tirol in a friendly before kicking off the campaign with a game in the DFB-Pokal again SSV Ulm. After a disappointing League campaign paired with a heartbreaking loss in the Champions League, Bayern will be out for ‘blood’ this season.
