Harry Kane‘s quest for a trophy was dealt another blow last night after Bayern Munich were eliminated from the Champions League by Inter – but could the curse continue before the end of the season?

This season’s Champions League final is on Bayern’s home patch, but the Bundesliga giants won’t have a chance to exorcise painful memories of the 2012 final defeat to Chelsea after going out at the quarter-final stage.

Kane, Bayern’s record signing, missed a brilliant chance to put the Bavarians ahead in the first leg – which ultimately proved costly as they were defeated 2-1 on home soil.

The England captain went on to open the scoring, equalising the tie, at the San Siro. But Serie A leaders Inter responded superbly with a quickfire double.

Kane’s former Tottenham team-mate Eric Dier scored in the closing stages to make it 2-2, but Inter held on doggedly to their one-goal advantage on aggregate.

It was another bitter pill to swallow for the 31-year-old, who endured an unthinkable trophyless debut season in Germany following Bayern’s 11 Bundesliga titles in a row.

He won the European Golden Shoe after a prolific goalscoring season, but Bayern couldn’t keep up with Xabi Alonso’s revelatory Bayer Leverkusen, who emerged out of nowhere to go unbeaten in the Bundesliga and claim a domestic double with the DFB Pokal.
