On July 15th, England lost 1-2 to Spain in the Euro final, settling for the runner-up position. According to BBC statistics, across the Euro finals of 2021 and 2024, Harry Kane had a combined total of just one touch in the opponent’s box.
In this year’s Euro final, after losing to Spain, England became the first team in Euro history to finish as runners-up for two consecutive tournaments, and Kane’s fate of being title-less remained unchanged.
In this Euro tournament, Kane scored three goals for England. In the opening group stage match against Denmark, which ended in a 1-1 draw, Kane scored the first goal for his team; in the Round of 16, England defeated Slovakia 2-1, with Kane scoring the winning goal in extra time; in the semi-final, England beat the Netherlands 2-1, where Kane equalized from the penalty spot for the Three Lions.
However, in the Euro final, Kane was ineffective on the pitch and was substituted off for Watkins in the 61st minute. Across the two Euro finals he has played in, Kane had a combined total of just one touch in the opponent’s box, a rather embarrassing statistic.
