Harry Kane’s Heartfelt Message to Tottenham Fans After Europa League Triumph
On May 21, 2025, Tottenham Hotspur ended a 17-year trophy drought by defeating Manchester United 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League final at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao. The victory, sealed by Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal, sparked jubilation among Spurs fans worldwide. Among those celebrating from afar was former captain Harry Kane, who, despite his 2023 move to Bayern Munich, sent an emotional message to Tottenham supporters, expressing his joy, longing for the club, and unwavering loyalty as a Spurs fan, even in the face of mixed feelings from some fans.
Kane, Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer, took to social media to share his sentiments shortly after the final whistle. Posting on X, he wrote, “Congratulations
@SpursOfficial
,” accompanied by a heartfelt Instagram story featuring Tottenham’s celebrations with the caption, “So happy for the boys and the fans. Miss you all. Always a Spur.” This message resonated deeply, reflecting the complex emotions of a player who spent nearly two decades with the club, from an 11-year-old academy hopeful to a 30-year-old legend.
Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich in 2023 was driven by his desire to win silverware, a goal he achieved earlier in the 2024/25 season with the Bundesliga title. Ironically, Tottenham’s Europa League triumph came just weeks after Kane broke his own trophy drought, adding a layer of poetic symmetry to the moment. In his message, Kane acknowledged the club’s challenging season, with Spurs languishing in 17th place in the Premier League. Yet, he praised their “unbelievable Europa run,” emphasizing how much the victory meant to the players, staff, and fans. “I know what this club means to everyone involved. I’m over the moon for you all,” he added in a voice note on Cleats Club.
However, Kane’s message also carried a tinge of melancholy. He openly addressed the mixed sentiments among Tottenham fans, some of whom have criticized his decision to leave. “I know some of you don’t feel the same about me anymore, and that hurts, but I’ll always be one of you,” he said. This candid admission highlighted the emotional weight of his departure, especially after years of carrying Spurs’ hopes, only to fall short in finals like the 2019 Champions League. Despite the criticism, Kane’s loyalty shone through, as he reiterated, “Tottenham is in my heart forever.”
The response from fans was mixed but largely warm. Many took to social media to express gratitude, with one supporter writing, “Harry, you’re still our legend. Come back one day 
.” Others, however, remained bitter, with posts like, “You left us, Harry. Don’t act like you’re still one of us.” Yet, Kane’s message underscored his deep connection to the club, forged through 435 appearances and 280 goals.
