Kane’s trophy curse

Harry Kane certainly should be questioning if he’s jinxed.

The entire motive he left Tottenham within the first place was to win trophies – he even sacrificed going for the Premier League goalscoring file – but it surely appears like he might finish the season empty-handed once more.

The German Champions have gained the final 11 league titles, however Kane rocks up they usually appear to have relinquished their stranglehold on the Bundesliga.

What does the English Striker should do to get some profitable luck, he has scored 31 objectives in 33 video games this season, and even that doesn’t look like it’s sufficient.

At least he’s secure within the data that Spurs are set to go trophyless as soon as once more, so he isn’t lacking out on something there.

PSG in pole place

Every season for some motive I count on PSG to make an actual go of the Champions League, however I don’t know why as a result of it nearly at all times goes mistaken.

With the perimeters they’ve constructed over the past decade, they need to have a minimum of one title to their identify. They got here shut in 2020, shedding within the ultimate to Bayern Munich, however aside from that, it’s been extra disappointment after disappointment.

This season they practically went a step additional than normal and received knocked out on the group stage, however they managed to recover from the road.

You really feel tonight, and this season is a big likelihood for PSG to go far within the competitors. After profitable comfortably towards Real Sociedad in Paris, you are feeling a quarter-final spot is inevitable.

Surely, they gained’t make a large number of it in Spain.

Bayern’s final likelihood for a trophy?

I can’t imagine that is even a submit that I’ve to jot down.

We all anticipated that Harry Kane can be drowning in trophies by the top of this season after transferring to Bayern Munich, they’re nearly assured to win the league each season.

Well, it appears extraordinarily unlikely that they may this season. They are ten factors adrift of Bayer Leverkusen on the prime of the Bundesliga and have been knocked out of each German home cup competitions.

The Bavarians even appear to be they might bow out of the final 16 of the Champions League tonight as they go into the sport a objective right down to Lazio. The final time they had been knocked out at this stage was in 2019, to eventual winners Liverpool.

They should win tonight to maintain any hopes of a trophy alive, however even when they do, it’s extremely uncertain they might get previous the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid to win the entire thing.

It’s unfamiliar territory for Bayern – not for Kane although…

All eyes are going to be on if Harry Kane and Bayern Munich can overturn their first-leg deficit towards Lazio. Going by their kind although I wouldn’t be so positive of that occuring.

Meanwhile, it looks as if a formality for PSG, however you recognize they generally like to offer us a little bit of leisure by goofing round in necessary video games.

It’s Champions League evening!

I can already hear that stunning music in my head.

The Champions League is again. It could have solely been two weeks since we loved Europe’s premier competitors on our screens, but it surely has felt like so much longer.

Anyway, we’ve a cracking evening in retailer for you as Bayern Munich need to overturn a first-leg deficit to Lazio on the Allianz Arena. At this level you must surprise if Harry Kane is jinxed, he appears like he’s set to go one other season trophyless until they will make a press release tonight.

We even have motion in Paris to carry you as Paris Saint-Germain tackle Real Sociedad on the Parc des Princes.

The Parisians usually make a large number of it within the Champions League spherical of 16, however they give the impression of being greater than more likely to make the final eight this time round – they maintain a two-goal benefit heading into tonight.

European nights are at all times good, so ensure you take pleasure in this rollercoaster of a night with me – I can’t wait to see the way it all unravels.
