Rival fans had a field day as Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane's 'trophyless curse' hit his new club Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup final on Saturday (August 12).
A Dani Olmo hat-trick floored the record Bundesliga champions as reigning DFL-Pokal winners RB Leipzig won their first silverware of the season with a 3-0 win over Bayern.
Olmo put Leipzig into the lead as early as the third minute before doubling their advantage a minute before the break. Spurs all-time scorer Kane entered the action in the 63rd minute, but it was Leipzig - and Olmo - who scored the game's next goal as they ran out convincing winners at the Allianz Arena.
Coach Thomas Tuchel struggled to dissect the defeat, lamenting that the four-week pre-season eventually meant nothing. Even the record Bundesliga signing Kane - brought on for €100 million - couldn't impact proceedings.
The 30-year-old had a forgettable outing - getting only three touches of the ball - as Bayern started the new season on the wrong foot. Spurs' all-time top scorer (280 goals) has ventured outside English football for the first time as he seeks to win silverware.
However, that will have to wait for a while following Bayern's humbling night on Saturday. Rival fans poked fan at Kane, with one tweeting:

For all his goals for Spurs and England, Kane is yet to win a trophy in club or international football. That's something he would hope to change at Bayern and prove his naysayers wrong.
Widely regarded as one of the best English strikers of all time, Harry Kane has arrived in Bavaria as he embarks on the next chapter of his career.
