Harry Kane hung his head in sorrow and hid it behind a seat on the Bernabeu bench as Bayern Munich's Champions League dream was extinguished on Wednesday night.
The striker looked crestfallen as the whistle blew in Madrid, sounding out another year of hurt for the 30-year-old.
Bayern capitulated to a late Joselu double having led 1-0 through Alphonso Davies, crashing out 4-3 on aggregate.
Kane is yet to claim a piece of silverware in his career despite scoring 402 goals, reaching four finals, and consistently being one of the best players of his generation.
Following disappointments in the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal, Bayern's European exit confirms their first trophyless campaign since the 2011-12 season.
This is not what Kane signed up for when he left his beloved Tottenham to pull on the red and white of Germany's most famous club for £100million last summer.
He was unable to impact the final minutes of the game, having been brought off with a back injury after 85 minutes when his side were 1-0 up.
Thomas Tuchel had been slammed for withdrawing him but explained that he could not carry on, hence his replacement by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Bayern thought they were on course for a repeat of the 2013 Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund when Alphonso Davies put them ahead against the run of play after 68 minutes.
And with two minutes to go of the 90 minutes, Die Roten were still on course to pull off a shock victory at the Santiago Bernabeu - but Joselu had other ideas.
The former Stoke City man seized on a Manuel Neuer mistake to equalised after 88 minutes and prodded home after a minute of extra-time to turn the game on its head.

Harry Kane Please go and break any ties you still have with Tottenham Hotspur ohhhhhhh... This is beyond coincidence now. Your first season, Bayern Munich that always win a trophy every season season ain't winning nothing significant.

...he will still win a trophy. Bayern in Germany is like Real Madrid in Spain. As long as you signed for them, u must win a trophy.
