Harry Kane breaks England players' social media silence with 'heartbreaking' message after Spain defeat

Harry Kane broke his silence the morning after England's defeat to Spain in the European Championship final.

The Three Lions feel to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Spain in Berlin on Sunday, and in the process became the first side in history to lose successive Euro finals.

The defeat means that England's wait for a second major honour will go into it's 60th year.

Kane has since become the first England player to break his silence on social media, revealing his "heartbreak" at the defeat on Instagram.

The England skipper wrote: “Heartbroken we couldn’t achieve what we worked so hard to. It was a long tough tournament and I’m so proud of the boys and staff for getting to the final.

“Ultimately we fell short of our target and will have to live with that but as we always do we will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and be ready to fight again in an England shirt.

“Thank you to all the fans that believed in us and supported us to the very end!”

Kane scored three goals across the Euros, but struggled to make an impact on the games beyond that, with Gary Neville suggesting the Bayern Munich star may have been carrying an injury.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville said: Neville said: “I’ve said a number of times in this last couple of weeks - whether it will come out or not, I’m not sure now because of the fact they lost in the manner they did - I'd be amazed if it doesn't come out in some way that Harry has been carrying some form of injury and has been patching himself up to get out onto the pitch.

“He physically never looked himself during the tournament and I think everyone could see that. It’s not a technical thing with Harry Kane. It’s not a performance thing. This guy is England’s best ever in his position.

“It’s more about the fact of his mobility on the pitch and there’s no doubt he wasn’t free. Gareth took him off relatively early last night and obviously, you look at the touch match of Harry and that’s just not him."
