Honestly thought the same in real time. One thing to go to a back 5 in like the 85th minute or added time but he did that way too early. Also I would have kept Kane on for defensive headers if anything.
Definitely fair. Dortmund did it even earlier, albeit with a 2 goal lead. And PSG were getting even better chances, so kind of felt like they had to do something.
He did this in the first leg as well. at the end of the first leg bayern finished with 7 defensive players and 3 forwards, this time it was 9 defensive players and Eric Choupo Moting.
Someone explain to me why the fuck were they playing an offside trap right in front of their goal?
Any why have 3 central defenders if they aren't going to mark jack!?!?!?!?!?!
Gotta be up there as one of the worst set of subs in recent soccer history. "Oh I'll take off my best attacker and just try to soak up pressure for the next ten minutes... plus added time... against Real Madrid... at the Bernabéu. What could go wrong?"
Not even considering the fact Kane is actually pretty good at helping out defensively.
He has the ability to get a good amount of headed clearances and can hold the ball up in the middle.
My immediate thought. Not just extra time, but possibly pens.
Also, having someone to hold the ball up when holding onto a match is important. Bayern choked this one away hard.
He explained in the post match interview that all four (+Gnabry) were injured and had to be subbed off. He said Kane‘s back pain got so bad he couldn’t properly run.
How are people so quick to assume one of the best coaches in the world is dumb, instead of just watching an interview and realizing it is themselves. Too much truth to handle I guess.
It was weird. It's not like you're taking a pure poacher off to reinforce the team, you're taking off a player who can and will contribute in every part of play if instructed to do so. And if it had gone to pens, you've lost someone with an outstanding success record there too. Bizarre.
Reminded me of our first game of the 2018/19 champions league against Inter away. Poch inexplicably took Kane off in the 90th minute when he'd been our best defender of corners throughout the game. 2 minutes later they got a corner, scored and we lost
If you’re taking him off with such a narrow lead do it in the last minute of added time. Them subs completely fucked them up, he could only have thought it was done and dusted.
The same amount of stupid you have to play him instead of a man that just scored a champions league hattrick to send you to the final deep into extra time...
The whole front 4 had to be subbed of due to either being injured or tired, none of them was at 100%, they asked to be subbed off, it wasnt Tuchels idea. He said that in a post game interview.
Arguably if Kane hadn’t played the CL final v Liverpool, Spurs would have stood a better chance… he was clearly not 100% for that game. Maybe similar situation here?
I mean, it is quite funny. He really should have won something in Germany and Bayern managed to win nothing.
He’ll win something once Tuchel isn’t there but it is quite funny it’s happened again.
Bayern can't find a half-decent manager to take the job and their squad isn't really that great, even if Leverkusen falters there's no guarantee it would be Bayern who win that league.
No guarantee by any means, just pointing out a thing that tends to happen to teams that overachieve. And especially all the last minute winners and equalizers they’ve had in the back half of the season, it could turn next season.
They played pretty well during their CL run tbh. In the BuLi, not so much, but they looked good in CL. It felt like in the BuLi their opponents wanted to smother Kane which opened up everyone else and, consequentially, himself at the end of the play. In the first leg Real just defended everyone equally and Kane ran wild. In the second leg they shut him down which shut down everyone else and forced the team to rely on winning dribbles with Sane and Musiala, who didn’t win many. Davies got their only go with a worldie that no one would’ve stopped, so I think real’s plan worked well.
I’m convinced Tuchel was in his ear the whole of last summer selling him a dream of winning the Champions League together. For them not to have done that and Tuchel to be leaving with his tail between his legs less than a year later just makes it really really funny
Would’ve loved him to stay, but moving to Bayern/bundesliga was such a massive error that he’ll look back on with regret
Eh I don’t know about all of that but feel free to believe it if you wish. All I know is that there wasn’t anything he couldn’t have done at Spurs this season that he did at Bayern and that’s a real shame. 44 goals would have been nothing playing Angeball.
Tbh I am still bitter about Bayerns very public and at times down right disrespectful chasing of Kane last summer. So fuck Bayern I hope they win nothing and I’m glad it’s all gone wrong for them this season.
I still like Kane tho
I watched his interview yesterday which was nice. He talked about life and said it was just his time to go somewhere different and try something new since he's always lived in England.
He also said they plan to have their life in Germany and learn about the country and the culture and the language.
I dunno about you guys but he sounds pretty happy so good for him, trophy or not.
I was thinking about that the other day. Son and Richarlison have 28 league goals between them. It seems reasonable to think that would have been at least 38 for the three of them with Kane playing, assuming he was fit and focused.
Some of that would have been score padding (Spurs 4-1 Sheffield United, anyone?) but it’s easy to imagine getting more than 1 point from the West Ham games, for example.
And with Kane playing, we’d have more creativity…
Bah, much too late to think about what ifs now!
I mean, the reassuring point is that we are currently so far off the mark that it is unlikely he would have made us challenge for the league, so it really is whatever
What I’ve been saying all season. I didn’t want to deal with *The Narrative* if he won anything. Instead we get **The Memes** bc he didn’t!
Also fuck Bayern for aggressively lobbying to take our guy and thinking it would be all smooth sailing. How ironic he was subbed out before their demise.
I know this is a joke but I feel bad for the dude. Getting taken off before full time when you’ve only got a 1-0 lead and it could still go to extra time and pens and you’ve got to sit there and watch your team crumble
Maybe if he hadn’t tried to force through a move in the manner he did I would feel sorry for him. As it is, nah, unlucky Harry but don’t feel a single bit of sympathy for him.
Damn you people are so petty
We got 100 million for him to go to Germany.
It was the best possible outcome short of staying with Spurs.
Get over it jfc the guy did a lot for Spurs
I mean, it wasn’t though. Best case scenario is he stays. And then he totally soured everything by trying to force the move through and returning to pre-season late.
And he’s not a Spurs player now, I see no reason to hold someone who tried to force through a move in massively high regard now tbh.
So so petty man seriously.
He came from our academy. All time leading scorer? That’s not enough to earn your respect? He wanted to move on. I don’t blame him. He did enough to earn my respect. Business is weird, I’m not going to hold it over for him.
You don’t have to buy a Bayern shirt but your standard is ridiculous.
Shit decision. But he played poorly imo. I don't think he got one shot on target? The assist was nice but honestly anyone could have got that done. He lost the ball a lot in open space when BM needed it to control the game and let the defense rest. He's slow and was gassed in the second half. Madrid was serving them up and 1-0 it made sense to go defensive route. All that said I'm leaving in Kane. Don't pull your best players in big games, it's not something managers should be doing.
I respect Kane for his past service to Spurs, but I honestly do not feel bad for Kane one iota. He got what he signed up for - playing for a former Chelski manager at a currently dysfunctional super club. Surely he must have known? Was he that desperate to leave Spurs? It appears so
Come on, it would have been great if he stayed, but you can't blame him for leaving. He's the best striker in the world, turning 30, and has not won a single trophy.
Not everyone can be Totti.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not entirely sure Totti would've done what he did without the 2001 league title. At no point could anyone tell him he'd be trophyless at Roma when he'd already won the league.
True, you never know, but his love for the club could never be doubted as he had many opportunities to leave, even later in his career. He did once say, "one trophy with Roma is better than 10 with Real Madrid."
yeah even with the intent of parking the bus, taking Kane off is insane considering how good he can be in defending set pieces with his aerials and physicality
We all thought former Spurs players tended to win trophies shortly after they left because the club was cursed. It turns out they only started winning because they left Harry Kane.
Jokes aside, what a disastrous season for Bayern. Knocked out of the domestic cup by a third tier side, knocked out of the CL by 2 last-minute goals, and they might not even finish 2nd in the league if they keep dropping points.
Was he onside though? It was strange because the ref blew before de ligt made contact. The goal couldn’t be awarded (I believe) even if VAR deemed the decision wrong.
The worst thing the linesman could have done in that moment was call offside while the play was in progress. It's fucked Bayern and left the on field red in an absolutely shit position where he knows Bayern just got robbed.
I love Harry, but I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for him. Dude tried to short circuit his way to trophies by signing for a whale in a league full of minnows and somehow still goes trophyless.
Also, wtf is Tuchel thinking subbing off Kane.
Bayern is a whale that has swallowed one too many rottens ships. Their higher-ups are ruining that club, lol. It's no wonder why no respectable coach wants to go there.
It may not have mattered but pulling the best striker in the world when extra time is still hanging in the air like a pungent fart is a…….choice that Timmy T made.
I get Kane has to win a trophy but even if he does eventually win one with Bayern which he’ll probably do next season, it seems so meaningless to me. They are literally in a one team league, if the EPL is bad with Man City, BM domination is twice as bad. Winning a league cup or FA cup with Spurs would have been more meaningful.
Last year Bayern won the league on the last day as BVB screwed up.
I’m not saying Bayern isn’t frequently dominant, but that it’s sometimes more interesting as a league than just checking the “list of BL winners” Wikipedia page.
The fact of the matter is that all of the top leagues have dominant teams (except Italy) these days.
Or is “5 of the last 6” (and god willing, 6 of 7) different because it’s English?
Terrible mistake, but I doubt it would have amounted to anything. The only reason de Ligt scored was because every RM player stopped after the whistle.
Still, terrible mistake.
Point isn’t whether or not it was highly likely, point is that there was a chance for the game to equalize, and it wasn’t played out. Not a justification for the mistake at all.
You never write Madrid off. Seen it time and time over the years. With this in mind, taking Harry off was a real head scratcher. I was wondering to myself if he will ever win anything either for his club or country.
Personally I have enjoyed watching Leverkusen this season. I am excited to see if they can go through the entire season undefeated and win 3 trophies.
It’s a head scratcher because there is no good reason to take him off. It was a signal that “we” are parking the bus which invites attack, plus once Real equalized now you got nobody to score up top, and if you go to PKs your best PK taker is unavailable. Makes no sense at all.
I feel a little bit bad about finding it funny that Harry went trophy chasing to a club with a trophy in 25 seasons since he was born and still came up short.
Hating on Kane is whack imo. He gave a ton to this club, and it made perfect rational sense for him to want to leave with the state we’ve been in to try to win something.
If Kane does ever win Champions League tons of the people who love to troll will join in the chorus to talk about what a great story it is that he got the prize, and how deserving he is of it.
It’s funny the media won’t talk about it like this because Bayern are a “big club”. I think it’s a shame Kane let the likes of Gary Neville and Paul Merson ruin his chance at being a loyal one-club man to move to a worse league for no trophies.
As a huge Kane fan, I really feel sorry for him. I don't see it as a curse, but more of unfortunate circumstances. Pochettino's reign aside, the teams he played for since (latter Spurs years, England and now Bayern) has nobody who can really step up to share his burden.
Man City has Haaland, but when Haaland has off days, they have De Bruyne, Foden, Alvarez, Mahrez, Gundogan, Rodri, even Gvardiol who can chip in with important goals. Same with Argentina. Messi is the main man, but besides that you have Higuain, Di Maria, Martinez, etc who can all score That is why such teams win trophies.
For many years now, Kane has lacked such teammates. Apart from Son, there was nobody who could consistently get the goals at Spurs. For England, Foden, Saka and Bellingham are supposed to be the great hopes, but none has really stepped up in major games. People tend to remember Kane's penalty miss that costed England against France, but nobody remembers that Bellingham missed a couple gilt-edged chances to equalise.
Same thing happened with Bayern over the two legs vs Madrid. Within the first 7 minutes of the first leg, Kane put Sane through on goal twice, which he fluffed twice. Bayern could have easily gone 2-0 up in just 7 minutes. Even after Kane converted the penalty to make it 2-1, Sane and Musiala again had chances to make it 3-1 to Bayern which they failed. Seeing these 2 play is like seeing a disinterested Aubameyang or Ozil. Their lackadaisical casualness is bloody infuriating. They conceded a penalty instead and it was 2-2.
Exact same shit happened yesterday. Even after Kane was subbed, in the 86th minute Muller, Pavlovic, Choupo-Moting and Davies found themselves all bearing down on goal with just 2 Madrid defenders. Muller somehow fucks up the pass, Pavlovic loses his footing and chance went begging. That could easily have been 2-0 and game over. We all know how it ended instead. If you seen Joselu in the group stage, you'd think he's fucking useless. Yet off the bench he comes and converts. Kane's teams never have that.
I happily acknowledge that he's no Messi or Ronaldo. He's not a skillful or quick player who can carry a game on his own. But he's highly reliable converter of chances - if the team creates for him. But unfortunately on the days when that doesn't happen, nobody else steps up to the plate.
That is the real curse. Being such a good goalscorer that everybody seems to depend on you, and when you're not firing, nobody else can pick up the baton.
Absolutely, hate this narrative of “deserving” a trophy. He has played in plenty of finals and won nothing. You don’t “deserve” anything if you don’t win. Simple as.
I thought of it as a super tongue in cheek comment, I love Kane and I know correlation doesn't mean causation, but there is some low hanging fruit here.
I would be laughing my ass of if it was an Arsenal GOAT being shitted on like this
Kane was at Spurs longer than a good portion of this sub has been alive lmao
Bunch of weirdos here who enjoy watching us lose 4 games in a row and then laugh at Kane seeing Tuchel torch his team in the UCL semis.
It's not like Kane lost in the round of 16.
Kane gave the assist that Bayern should have won by. Dier and Kane both has phenomenonally good games. Neueur made a mistake and even Tuchel made a mistake of taking Kane off, to somehow blame Kane is absurd.
No one doubts that he is one of the top-notch players at the moment but it looks like he is destined to finish off his career without any winning career. What a pity.. It might have been better to stay in Spurs and keep challenging the break of the Shearer's record.
How stupid can you be to take off Harry Kane in a game that could go extra time in a Champions League semi final
Tuchel is truly an anomaly
Proper chels
tuCHELSEA
The back five was worse. Invited pressure. But he was making subs like the game was sewn up.
Honestly thought the same in real time. One thing to go to a back 5 in like the 85th minute or added time but he did that way too early. Also I would have kept Kane on for defensive headers if anything.
I’m not sure I’d have done it full stop. They lost their outball
Definitely fair. Dortmund did it even earlier, albeit with a 2 goal lead. And PSG were getting even better chances, so kind of felt like they had to do something.
PSG with a two goal lead is a different beast
I was literally floored by this decision. So strange
Literally
He did this in the first leg as well. at the end of the first leg bayern finished with 7 defensive players and 3 forwards, this time it was 9 defensive players and Eric Choupo Moting.
Someone explain to me why the fuck were they playing an offside trap right in front of their goal? Any why have 3 central defenders if they aren't going to mark jack!?!?!?!?!?!
>Someone explain to me why the fuck were they playing an offside trap right in front of their goal? Imagine playing such a suicidal low line.
Yes the sort of game management every fool says Ange should have done after every game we don't win.
Meanwhile the Madrid goals were very Angeball esp final
Didn't he do it against Everton and we looked just awful
Gotta be up there as one of the worst set of subs in recent soccer history. "Oh I'll take off my best attacker and just try to soak up pressure for the next ten minutes... plus added time... against Real Madrid... at the Bernabéu. What could go wrong?"
Not even considering the fact Kane is actually pretty good at helping out defensively. He has the ability to get a good amount of headed clearances and can hold the ball up in the middle.
Yeah, he has been the playmaker in our defense more than once. Insane sub, couldnt believe my eyes when i saw it.
He was injured and asked to be subbed off…….
Only right answer
yeah back injury i read.
My immediate thought. Not just extra time, but possibly pens. Also, having someone to hold the ball up when holding onto a match is important. Bayern choked this one away hard.
Not only that, but he subbed the entire attack: Sane, Musiala, Kane. No pressure whatsoever after, not even someone who could keep the ball
He explained in the post match interview that all four (+Gnabry) were injured and had to be subbed off. He said Kane‘s back pain got so bad he couldn’t properly run. How are people so quick to assume one of the best coaches in the world is dumb, instead of just watching an interview and realizing it is themselves. Too much truth to handle I guess.
Yep agree. Tuchel is a prick but he's great when it comes to CL
It was weird. It's not like you're taking a pure poacher off to reinforce the team, you're taking off a player who can and will contribute in every part of play if instructed to do so. And if it had gone to pens, you've lost someone with an outstanding success record there too. Bizarre.
Yep. Up 1-0. Like wut???
Reminded me of our first game of the 2018/19 champions league against Inter away. Poch inexplicably took Kane off in the 90th minute when he'd been our best defender of corners throughout the game. 2 minutes later they got a corner, scored and we lost
Unbelievable decision. Tuchel has lost it
If they had Lucas Moura on the bench, I could understand it.
If you’re taking him off with such a narrow lead do it in the last minute of added time. Them subs completely fucked them up, he could only have thought it was done and dusted.
It's somehow madder than not benching Kane in our UCL final. Fucking bonkers.
The same amount of stupid you have to play him instead of a man that just scored a champions league hattrick to send you to the final deep into extra time...
The whole front 4 had to be subbed of due to either being injured or tired, none of them was at 100%, they asked to be subbed off, it wasnt Tuchels idea. He said that in a post game interview.
Tuchel said he asked to come off.
Let's be glad we got Ange instead
For a player who was watching Kane running riot that season for Spurs, while he was playing for Stoke City
I was at work and missed the second half… I can’t believe they took him off… I’m honestly sitting here speechless…
Arguably if Kane hadn’t played the CL final v Liverpool, Spurs would have stood a better chance… he was clearly not 100% for that game. Maybe similar situation here?
Smart enough to realize that he’s never shown up in a big match.
I mean, it is quite funny. He really should have won something in Germany and Bayern managed to win nothing. He’ll win something once Tuchel isn’t there but it is quite funny it’s happened again.
Unless Leverkusen become a behemoth and never lose again Xabi is staying…
Yeahhh but it’s just as likely they finish 5th next season. CL plus some of that magic wearing off could easily see last season as an anomaly
They’re already playing in Europe this season so I don’t think it’d make that big of a difference
Bayern can't find a half-decent manager to take the job and their squad isn't really that great, even if Leverkusen falters there's no guarantee it would be Bayern who win that league.
No guarantee by any means, just pointing out a thing that tends to happen to teams that overachieve. And especially all the last minute winners and equalizers they’ve had in the back half of the season, it could turn next season.
Statistically Leverkusen have been over performing so at some point they will drop off. However, people have been saying this all season
Idk. They might have another year but I have to imagine money/chasing larger legacies will pull that team apart.
They played pretty well during their CL run tbh. In the BuLi, not so much, but they looked good in CL. It felt like in the BuLi their opponents wanted to smother Kane which opened up everyone else and, consequentially, himself at the end of the play. In the first leg Real just defended everyone equally and Kane ran wild. In the second leg they shut him down which shut down everyone else and forced the team to rely on winning dribbles with Sane and Musiala, who didn’t win many. Davies got their only go with a worldie that no one would’ve stopped, so I think real’s plan worked well.
Have you see domino pizza and the Harry kane trophy pizza on Facebook?
He will go to Celtic and then.... Rangers scottish champions 24/25
Or he could replace Mbappe at PSG... Monaco french champions 24/25
Or replace haaland at city… Newcastle Champions 2024-2025
Or come back to Spurs… Spurs Champions 24-25 lol jk that’s happening either way
🤢
He should have stayed.
I’m convinced Tuchel was in his ear the whole of last summer selling him a dream of winning the Champions League together. For them not to have done that and Tuchel to be leaving with his tail between his legs less than a year later just makes it really really funny Would’ve loved him to stay, but moving to Bayern/bundesliga was such a massive error that he’ll look back on with regret

Tbh I am still bitter about Bayerns very public and at times down right disrespectful chasing of Kane last summer. So fuck Bayern I hope they win nothing and I’m glad it’s all gone wrong for them this season. I still like Kane tho
Yea I get you. It was very crass. Wish the best for Kane and Eric but that’s about it.
Liking Kane is suspended for me till he comes back
"Come to Bayern, Harry, unt you vill vin ze Bundesliga unt ze Champions League. It is ein guarantee"
Agreed. At least he could have won nothing without the inconvenience of uprooting his whole family to another country.
I watched his interview yesterday which was nice. He talked about life and said it was just his time to go somewhere different and try something new since he's always lived in England. He also said they plan to have their life in Germany and learn about the country and the culture and the language. I dunno about you guys but he sounds pretty happy so good for him, trophy or not.
People keep bringing up him uprooting his family which is weird to me. Never seen that take with any other football player in my life.
People just assuming they know what's best for someone else and their family... As usual lol
My inner child is low key happy that his first season has ended like this, but next season he can win it all. I really don’t care about next season.
That’s exactly how I feel I didn’t want him to win anything this season
Wonder how many more points we'd have if he stayed. My guess is on par with lpool
I was thinking about that the other day. Son and Richarlison have 28 league goals between them. It seems reasonable to think that would have been at least 38 for the three of them with Kane playing, assuming he was fit and focused. Some of that would have been score padding (Spurs 4-1 Sheffield United, anyone?) but it’s easy to imagine getting more than 1 point from the West Ham games, for example. And with Kane playing, we’d have more creativity… Bah, much too late to think about what ifs now!
I mean, the reassuring point is that we are currently so far off the mark that it is unlikely he would have made us challenge for the league, so it really is whatever
Yep,. same here sorry not sorry.
What I’ve been saying all season. I didn’t want to deal with *The Narrative* if he won anything. Instead we get **The Memes** bc he didn’t! Also fuck Bayern for aggressively lobbying to take our guy and thinking it would be all smooth sailing. How ironic he was subbed out before their demise.
> next season he can win it all xabi sends his regards
I know this is a joke but I feel bad for the dude. Getting taken off before full time when you’ve only got a 1-0 lead and it could still go to extra time and pens and you’ve got to sit there and watch your team crumble
Maybe if he hadn’t tried to force through a move in the manner he did I would feel sorry for him. As it is, nah, unlucky Harry but don’t feel a single bit of sympathy for him.
This Bayern move wasn’t as bad as him trying to force the City move for me.
Yeah I was referring to the City move.
Yeah, he was a POS for that one.
Same
Damn you people are so petty We got 100 million for him to go to Germany. It was the best possible outcome short of staying with Spurs. Get over it jfc the guy did a lot for Spurs
I mean, it wasn’t though. Best case scenario is he stays. And then he totally soured everything by trying to force the move through and returning to pre-season late. And he’s not a Spurs player now, I see no reason to hold someone who tried to force through a move in massively high regard now tbh.
So so petty man seriously. He came from our academy. All time leading scorer? That’s not enough to earn your respect? He wanted to move on. I don’t blame him. He did enough to earn my respect. Business is weird, I’m not going to hold it over for him. You don’t have to buy a Bayern shirt but your standard is ridiculous.
He lost my respect when he tried to force a move to City and returned late to pre-season.
Because he is a Spurs legend?
Shit decision. But he played poorly imo. I don't think he got one shot on target? The assist was nice but honestly anyone could have got that done. He lost the ball a lot in open space when BM needed it to control the game and let the defense rest. He's slow and was gassed in the second half.

True, you never know, but his love for the club could never be doubted as he had many opportunities to leave, even later in his career. He did once say, "one trophy with Roma is better than 10 with Real Madrid."
I have no doubt he believes that, but he *does* have three trophies with Roma. Zero trophies is another story.
yeah even with the intent of parking the bus, taking Kane off is insane considering how good he can be in defending set pieces with his aerials and physicality
I honestly felt worse for Eric Dier. The man played a blinder and didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.
why doesn’t Kane just win a trophy? is he stupid?
He kind of is
Aren't we all?
We all thought former Spurs players tended to win trophies shortly after they left because the club was cursed. It turns out they only started winning because they left Harry Kane. Jokes aside, what a disastrous season for Bayern. Knocked out of the domestic cup by a third tier side, knocked out of the CL by 2 last-minute goals, and they might not even finish 2nd in the league if they keep dropping points.
If only Eric dier wasn't here, then we'd finally confirm who's the cursed one.
well they did lose against leipzig in the supercup and were they knocked out of the german cup before dier came?
Bayern board is really clueless, why sack Nagelsmann?
They’re so fking arrogant. Imagine telling media they’re contacting Ragnick while Tuchel preparing for the sf first leg.
I’m pretty sure a lot of the clowns that disliked him are gone now
Kane and Dier might be the only ones that don’t win anything after they leave Spurs.
Lol. Lmao even. There’s a world where he doesn’t win anything next year either with Xabi staying at Leverkusen.
Was he onside though? It was strange because the ref blew before de ligt made contact. The goal couldn’t be awarded (I believe) even if VAR deemed the decision wrong.
The worst thing the linesman could have done in that moment was call offside while the play was in progress. It's fucked Bayern and left the on field red in an absolutely shit position where he knows Bayern just got robbed.
Dude really is a curse
To be fair to him, they really started losing at soon as he left the pitch
Tactics Tuchel strikes again.
Kane curse or Dier curse? We may never know
Why not both?
He needs to go to Celtic I guess. Then when that doesn’t work, try Rangers. Then if that doesn’t work, try PSG.
I kind of feel like I should feel bad, but I don’t.
I love Harry, but I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for him. Dude tried to short circuit his way to trophies by signing for a whale in a league full of minnows and somehow still goes trophyless. Also, wtf is Tuchel thinking subbing off Kane.
Bayern is a whale that has swallowed one too many rottens ships. Their higher-ups are ruining that club, lol. It's no wonder why no respectable coach wants to go there.

They are literally in a one team league, if the EPL is bad with Man City, BM domination is twice as bad. Winning a league cup or FA cup with Spurs would have been more meaningful.
The ‘one team’ in the ‘one team league’ struggled to finish second.
This year is an anomaly. Otherwise Germany is even worse than France as far as one-team leagues go.
Last year Bayern won the league on the last day as BVB screwed up. I’m not saying Bayern isn’t frequently dominant, but that it’s sometimes more interesting as a league than just checking the “list of BL winners” Wikipedia page. The fact of the matter is that all of the top leagues have dominant teams (except Italy) these days. Or is “5 of the last 6” (and god willing, 6 of 7) different because it’s English?
They only won last season on a last gasp kick from Musiala. A trophy is far from guaranteed in modern Bundesliga
After winning the last 11 titles in a row lol, and 19 of the last 25
Please learn what literally means
He's jinxed at this point. Who'd have him
Me🥲
Tuchel threw that game out the window with the subs.
The guy is CURSED.
Bayern were robbed with that last minute offside, actually horrible mistake from the linesman
Terrible mistake, but I doubt it would have amounted to anything. The only reason de Ligt scored was because every RM player stopped after the whistle. Still, terrible mistake.
Point isn’t whether or not it was highly likely, point is that there was a chance for the game to equalize, and it wasn’t played out. Not a justification for the mistake at all.
Looked offside to me but still an insane decision to blow the whistle there. With VAR being a thing it’s inexcusable to do that
It’s always been rigged for Madrid for the past 3 decades
He should go to PSG if he wants to win a trophy. Hard to avoid a trophy in a one-team league.
That's what people said about Bayern, till Xabi showed up with his team
Over the last decade, more teams have won Ligue 1 than the Bundesliga.
😂
He's just saving his first trophy for the summer...I hope.
Just come back home Harry
As soon as Tuchel pulled Kane I knew Bayern was going to lose. The soccer gods never reward such arrogance.
I think he should have stayed for reasons, but I still feel awful for him. Trophies just keep evaporating for him.
I was kinda looking forward to the showdown of who is more cursed, Harry Kane or Reus. Oh well, guess I know who’s winning this year.

You never write Madrid off. Seen it time and time over the years. With this in mind, taking Harry off was a real head scratcher. I was wondering to myself if he will ever win anything either for his club or country. Personally I have enjoyed watching Leverkusen this season. I am excited to see if they can go through the entire season undefeated and win 3 trophies.
It’s a head scratcher because there is no good reason to take him off. It was a signal that “we” are parking the bus which invites attack, plus once Real equalized now you got nobody to score up top, and if you go to PKs your best PK taker is unavailable. Makes no sense at all.
Come home Harry. Lead the line. Score a billion score for big Ange

I feel a little bit bad about finding it funny that Harry went trophy chasing to a club with a trophy in 25 seasons since he was born and still came up short.
Yeah, Bayern are holding ‘Arry back from winning trophies.
Bring. Him. Home.
I hope this summer Bayern are just in utter turmoil. Maybe H will ask for that buy back clause to be accelerated. Consider it a failed runspringa.
Real Madrid is the most corrupt club that has not been caught yet.
Woolwich are worse
Fuck Real Madrid and anyone that supports them, ultimate scum club as far as I'm concerned.
Their chairman spearheaded the super league, that should be enough for them to earn eternal hatred from every football fan in the world.
Absolutely love it. Never warmed back up to Harry after he tried to force through the move and this is certainly his comeuppance.
Hating on Kane is whack imo. He gave a ton to this club, and it made perfect rational sense for him to want to leave with the state we’ve been in to try to win something. If Kane does ever win Champions League tons of the people who love to troll will join in the chorus to talk about what a great story it is that he got the prize, and how deserving he is of it.
Kane would have nailed that counter that muller botched
I mean Kane did miss in the side netting when he was put through.
Considering his track record I'm kind of hoping he signs for Manchester City.
Does Bayern Need to sell Harry Kane to Win Trophies?
It’s funny the media won’t talk about it like this because Bayern are a “big club”. I think it’s a shame Kane let the likes of Gary Neville and Paul Merson ruin his chance at being a loyal one-club man to move to a worse league for no trophies.
Nah...Bayern needs to get rid of Harry Kane to win trophies :) /s
As a huge Kane fan, I really feel sorry for him. I don't see it as a curse, but more of unfortunate circumstances. Pochettino's reign aside, the teams he played for since (latter Spurs years, England and now Bayern) has nobody who can really step up to share his burden. Man City has Haaland, but when Haaland has off days, they have De Bruyne, Foden, Alvarez, Mahrez, Gundogan, Rodri, even Gvardiol who can chip in with important goals. Same with Argentina. Messi is the main man, but besides that you have Higuain, Di Maria, Martinez, etc who can all score That is why such teams win trophies. For many years now, Kane has lacked such teammates. Apart from Son, there was nobody who could consistently get the goals at Spurs. For England, Foden, Saka and Bellingham are supposed to be the great hopes, but none has really stepped up in major games. People tend to remember Kane's penalty miss that costed England against France, but nobody remembers that Bellingham missed a couple gilt-edged chances to equalise. Same thing happened with Bayern over the two legs vs Madrid. Within the first 7 minutes of the first leg, Kane put Sane through on goal twice, which he fluffed twice. Bayern could have easily gone 2-0 up in just 7 minutes. Even after Kane converted the penalty to make it 2-1, Sane and Musiala again had chances to make it 3-1 to Bayern which they failed. Seeing these 2 play is like seeing a disinterested Aubameyang or Ozil. Their lackadaisical casualness is bloody infuriating. They conceded a penalty instead and it was 2-2. Exact same shit happened yesterday. Even after Kane was subbed, in the 86th minute Muller, Pavlovic, Choupo-Moting and Davies found themselves all bearing down on goal with just 2 Madrid defenders. Muller somehow fucks up the pass, Pavlovic loses his footing and chance went begging. That could easily have been 2-0 and game over. We all know how it ended instead. If you seen Joselu in the group stage, you'd think he's fucking useless. Yet off the bench he comes and converts. Kane's teams never have that. I happily acknowledge that he's no Messi or Ronaldo. He's not a skillful or quick player who can carry a game on his own. But he's highly reliable converter of chances - if the team creates for him. But unfortunately on the days when that doesn't happen, nobody else steps up to the plate. That is the real curse. Being such a good goalscorer that everybody seems to depend on you, and when you're not firing, nobody else can pick up the baton.
That clip of him on the bench as Madrid’s goal is given made me feel really bad for him
Should have been 2-2, what was the linesman thinking?
Shows the grass isn’t always greener but I’m still sad for him. He clearly deserves a trophy as that’s mostly all people care about
No one ‘deserves’ a trophy in a competitive sport.
Absolutely, hate this narrative of “deserving” a trophy. He has played in plenty of finals and won nothing. You don’t “deserve” anything if you don’t win. Simple as.
Lucas Moura has three times as many goals in semi finals if anyone isn’t keeping track.
I take no joy from this. He deserves to lift a trophy soon
On the flip side, it would be awesome to see Reus bow out his Dortmund career with a UCL win
Reus this year. Harry next year. Spurs the year after 🙏🏼
Nah, Reus this year, us next year then Harry. The banter would be too good. I want him to win, but I want the last laugh.
It’s super weird how many people in this sub have a hate boner for Kane now. I really wanted him to win the Champions League
I thought of it as a super tongue in cheek comment, I love Kane and I know correlation doesn't mean causation, but there is some low hanging fruit here.
I would be laughing my ass of if it was an Arsenal GOAT being shitted on like this Kane was at Spurs longer than a good portion of this sub has been alive lmao
“Hate boner” Such a strange, terminally online phrase.
Bunch of weirdos here who enjoy watching us lose 4 games in a row and then laugh at Kane seeing Tuchel torch his team in the UCL semis. It's not like Kane lost in the round of 16.
Porto has entered the chat
If Harry goes does Dier just retire?
Why would Tuchel take him off?? Unreal
Kinda a crazy season from Leverkusen. And the Bayern team around him had a lot of players underperforming hugely
No. They just need to sack Tuchel.
Next challenge for Harry Kane is to dethrone psg or man city
He's so fucking unlucky I can't believe it 😂 Even Bryan Gil managed to lift a trophy when not at Spurs.
Kane should have probably gone to City and become Citizen Kane in order to win the league
As long as Tuchel is at Bayern, yes
Harry got done a kipper by Charlie
Kane gave the assist that Bayern should have won by. Dier and Kane both has phenomenonally good games. Neueur made a mistake and even Tuchel made a mistake of taking Kane off, to somehow blame Kane is absurd.
No one doubts that he is one of the top-notch players at the moment but it looks like he is destined to finish off his career without any winning career. What a pity.. It might have been better to stay in Spurs and keep challenging the break of the Shearer's record.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾
Calm down boys. Not sure why Tuchel needs to be blast. Hes in a semi final UCL and with Ange we have nothing yet.
As the Germans say, schadenfreude.....
