<\/strong> One of Kane\u2019s biggest opportunities came in the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final<\/strong> against Liverpool<\/em>. Tottenham\u2019s dream run ended in disappointment as Liverpool claimed a 2-0 win in Madrid. Kane, returning from injury, struggled to make an impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Wearing the captain\u2019s armband, Kane led England to their first major final since 1966. Hopes were high at Wembley, but Italy<\/em> won on penalties after a 1-1 draw\u2014another gut-wrenching moment in Kane\u2019s pursuit of glory.
