Harry Kane Shares Heartfelt Thanks To Fans Post-Euro 2024 Defeat
Harry Kane has shared an emotional message with England supporters after their Euro 2024 final loss to Spain. Despite captaining his team to consecutive European Championship finals, the outcome mirrored their defeat at Wembley three years ago. Nico Williams scored for Spain shortly after halftime, but Cole Palmer equalised with England's fastest-ever goal from a substitute in the Euros. However, Mikel Oyarzabal's late goal secured Spain's record fourth title.Kane's performance in the tournament was underwhelming despite sharing the Golden Boot with three goals. He was substituted by Ollie Watkins in the final after playing 181 minutes across both Euro 2020 and 2024 finals, managing just one shot and one touch in the opposition box. His overall contribution included only 58 touches of the ball.England made history by becoming the first nation to lose consecutive European Championship finals, having lost to Italy in Euro 2020 and now to Luis de la Fuente's Spanish side. Kane expressed his disappointment on X (formerly Twitter), thanking his teammates and fans for their support throughout the tournament."Heartbroken we couldn't achieve what we worked so hard to," Kane wrote. "It was a long tough tournament and I'm so proud of the boys and staff for getting to the final. Ultimately we fell short of our target and will have to live with that but as we always do we will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and be ready to fight again in an England shirt."The Bayern Munich striker continues to wait for his first professional trophy. He was part of Bayern Munich's first season without a trophy in 11 years. Despite this setback, Kane remains determined to bounce back with England.Kane also acknowledged the unwavering support from fans: "Thank you to all the fans that believed in us and supported us to the very end!"
