After years of near misses and heartbreaks, Harry Kane has finally tasted team glory. The England captain’s long wait for silverware ended this weekend as Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions — without even kicking a ball on the decisive day.
Kane, who missed Saturday’s clash against RB Leipzig due to suspension, watched anxiously from the sidelines as Bayern’s title celebrations were temporarily delayed. A dramatic 94th-minute equalizer from Yussef Poulsen secured a 3-3 draw for Leipzig, denying Bayern the chance to seal the title then and there.
But the suspense didn’t last long. On Sunday, Bayer Leverkusen failed to pick up the win they needed at Freiburg, drawing 2-2 and mathematically handing the championship to the Bavarian giants.
It marks Bayern’s 34th league title and Kane’s first major team honor in professional football — a milestone moment in his 15th season. Since his move from Tottenham Hotspur two years ago, Kane has become a force in Germany, topping the Bundesliga scoring charts with 24 goals this season.
The 31-year-old has seen finals slip away before — in the Champions League and Carabao Cup with Spurs, and on the international stage with England. But now, with the trophy finally in hand, Kane can look ahead to celebrating properly with Bayern’s fans at the Allianz Arena in their upcoming match against Borussia Monchengladbach
