Harry Kane has won a trophy! Bayern Munich clinch Bundesliga title to end striker's long drought

Harry Kane has finally ended his career-long trophy drought as Bayern Munich secured the Bundesliga title on Sunday.

Kane and his Bayern team-mates saw their title celebrations delayed by a 94th-minute RB Leipzig equaliser on Saturday, but Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-2 draw at Freiburg the following day has confirmed the title as theirs.

Bayern are now eight points clear of Leverkusen with two games left to play. Kane has scored 24 league goals for Bayern this season, and a remarkable 60 in 60 Bundesliga games.

England captain Kane also looks set to become the first player in Bundesliga history to be crowned top scorer in both his first two seasons.

Kane is widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of his generation. He is England’s all-time top scorer and left Spurs as their all-time top scorer. Awards have never been far from his grasp, having won a hatful of individual honours, but a team trophy had previously evaded him.

Kane lost the 2019 Champions League final while with Spurs and has also finished runners-up with England at both Euro 2020 and 2024.

Bayern endured a remarkably rare season without silverware during Kane’s first season at the club, but on Sunday secured their 34th German league title.

Eric Dier, another former Spurs player, was also part of Bayern’s title-winning squad.
