[Cold Knowledge] After Kane, who is the one who scored the most goals in the five major leagues but has never won the championship?

In the summer of 2023, Harry Kane, who had played for Tottenham for 14 years, finally left North London to pursue his first title in his career. He has won numerous personal honors at Tottenham, such as three Premier League Golden Boots, but he is always hard to get a championship. If you want to experience the pleasure of touching the trophy, there is no more stable place than Bayern Munich. This old giant has won 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles and won the 2019-20 Champions League. Harry Kane went there without hesitation, sending Bayern one of the world's best strikers and leaving Tottenham with a transfer fee of 95 million euros.

It seems natural to realize your dream, but fate always likes to make jokes. In his first season with Bayern, Kane scored 36 goals in the Bundesliga, but unfortunately met the once-in-a-century Xavi Alonso and his Leverkusen. Bayern won the first season without a championship in 13 years, and the trophy display case that Kane had prepared long ago was still empty.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After 12 months, the curse was finally broken. On May 4, 2025, with Leverkusen tied 2-2 by Freiburg, Bayern Munich won the 2024-25 Bundesliga championship two rounds ahead of schedule. For the first championship in this career, Kane has scored 360 goals for clubs such as Leiden Oriental, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich, where he has played for.

So after Kane won the championship, who was the "unlucky guy" who scored the most goals for the five major league clubs but never won any important championships?
