Harry Kane hung his head in sorrow and hid 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 and counting, reaching five 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, Bayern 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.
And so it is Joselu who reaches the final of the Champions League and not Kane, who has broken his personal record to score 44 goals this season.
As Rio Ferdinand put it on TNT Sports: 'He’s done his job. He’s scored the goals. He’s done what he’s paid to do. They bought him for a particular reason and that’s to score goals but also to continue winning trophies.

‘I think the others have let him down more than anything. He’s produced what he’s had to produce. He’s the man who comes in and scores goals and creates chances for others. He’s done that. Forty-plus goals this season is a ridiculous amount, the most in his career.
‘I don’t think the finger gets pointed at him. He’ll have a heavy heart tonight, like the others, but him more so, because he’s come here and for the first time in 11 years they haven’t won the league.’
