Harry Kane has already proven he can score goals at the highest level. The bigger question is whether he can finally add a Champions League title to his résumé.
Former Manchester United and France captain Patrice Evra believes Kane has everything he needs at Bayern Munich, pointing to Vincent Kompany and the quality around him. But Evra also wanted to make it clear — having a legendary career does not guarantee European glory.
“I love Harry Kane and yeah, it’s tough for him, but he has a great manager in Vincent Kompany and he’s in a good club. I think people like to laugh and say it’s the Farmer League, the same as Ligue 1, but it’s not easy to win the league there,” Evra told Stake on behalf of Bavarian Football Works. “I hope he can, but there are many players — like Ronaldo (Nazario) and (Zlatan) Ibrahimović — who have never won the Champions League. There are so many players, (Thierry) Henry had to leave Arsenal to win the Champions League with Barcelona.
“We have these big legends of football, who when I mentioned their name, people look at me and they’re like ‘yeah, actually he’s right, they never win the Champions League.’ So, yeah, it’s going to be tough. It’s going to be tough for him.”
Kane has the goals, Bayern Munich has the pedigree, and Kompany has the tactical foundation. But the Champions League has become brutally competitive. Can Kane finally break through and claim the trophy that has eluded him?
