Harry Kane has finally ended his trophy drought, lifting the Bundesliga trophy with Bayern Munich at 31.
The England captain’s 14-year wait for silverware concluded Sunday, as Bayern secured their 34th German crown.

Decades of Heartbreak
Relentless near-misses marked Kane’s journey to his first trophy.
At Tottenham, he lost the 2015 League Cup final to Chelsea and the 2019 Champions League final to Liverpool.
With England, he twice fell in Euro finals (2020 vs Italy, 2024 vs Spain) and finished runner-up in the 2018 World Cup.
His move to Bayern in 2023 for a £82m fee was driven by a hunger to win titles, but his first season ended trophyless—a first for Bayern since 2012.
Kane’s Redemption at Last
Bayern clinched the Bundesliga on Sunday after Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-2 draw with Freiburg.
The moment was bittersweet for Kane, who missed the potential title-clinching game at Leipzig due to suspension.
Despite Bayern leading 3-2 in stoppage time, Leipzig’s Yussef Poulsen equalized, delaying celebrations.
But the next day, Kane finally donned Bayern’s 2025-26 away kit to toast the title with teammates, singing "We Are The Champions" and "Sweet Caroline" at a Munich restaurant.
“I feel amazing,” Kane said. “It’s been a long time coming—years of hard work, dedication. This trophy means everything.”
Post-Title Plans
Kane’s focus now shifts to Bayern’s Club World Cup campaign in June and defending the Bundesliga next season.
Beyond that, experts predict he’ll return to the Premier League to chase Alan Shearer’s 260-goal record.
With 213 Premier League goals and a £100m release clause, Kane could reunite with Tottenham or join a title challenger.
“His legacy depends on breaking Shearer’s mark,” said talkSPORT’s Alex Crook. “He’s got one more year in Germany—then it’s back to England.”
Is Kane Now a True Legend?
While Kane’s trophy drought defined his career, his impact at Bayern has been historic.
He broke a 60-year Bundesliga record by scoring 60 goals in 60 games and became the first player to top the league’s scoring charts in back-to-back seasons.
Bayern’s technical director, Michael Reschke, called him “world-class,” adding: “We’d pay his fee again and again.”
Yet some critics argue his defensive contributions and leadership remain underrated.
“He’s not just a goalscorer,” said former England teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold. “He’s a leader who lifts everyone around him.”
Fan Fury vs. Legacy Celebration
Liverpool fans mocked Kane’s delayed title win, referencing his 2024 Euro final loss: “Took you long enough!” But Tottenham supporters hailed his loyalty, with one fan tweeting: “No one deserved this more. Thank you for the memories.”
Kane’s departure from Spurs in 2023 left a void, but his Bayern career has solidified his status as one of England’s greatest forwards.
With 400+ career goals and now a Bundesliga trophy, he’s rewritten his narrative—from “nearly man” to champion.
Kane’s trophy curse is dead, but his pursuit of greatness continues.
As he eyes Shearer’s record and another shot at European glory, the world will watch if he can cement his legacy as a true football icon.
