Harry Kane refuses to lift trophy after finally winning silverware at Tottenham on return with Bayern Munich
BAYERN MUNICH superstar Harry Kane finally won silverware but refused to lift the trophy against his former club at Tottenham.
Kane, 31, hadn’t won any titles throughout his stunning 14-year career that saw him becoming Spurs and England‘s all-time top goalscorer.
The star striker finally got a taste on Saturday when he returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time after leaving the North Londoners last year.
The England captain helped Bayern beat Ange Postecoglou’s side 3-2 in their last pre-season friendly when he came off the bench in the 80th minute to receive a warm ovation from the home fans that never got to say goodbye.
The Bavarians won the unofficial Visit Malta Cup, which marked Kane‘s first ever piece of silverware but doesn’t compare with all the other major honours available.
Nevertheless, the centre-forward proved his undying allegiance to Tottenham when he refused to lift the well-deserved award after full-time.
The camera caught Kane’s Bayern team-mates asking him if he wanted to get in on all the fun but Vincent Kompany‘s star player seemingly said no as he repeatedly shook his head.
That show of respect moved fans on social media and led to immense praise for the star forward.
One fan tweeted: “Kane shows his class! Respect for the Tottenham legend refusing to lift the trophy against his former club.”
Another posted: “Very classy.”
