Bayern Munich has officially won the German Bundesliga title in 2024-2025, ending a turbulent season at a high point and bringing Harry Kane the first major trophy of his high school career.
The current England national captain Harry Kane, despite his glittering solo record, is still criticized for his lack of silverware, and he now has a long-awaited winner’s medal.
“There are a lot of people throughout my career talking about the fact that I haven’t won the championship yet.” Kane recently admitted. “I’m glad to silence some of them.”
Ironically, Kane didn’t even compete in the championship. The 31-year-old was suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season and watched on Saturday with RB Leipzig. He stood on the contact line, ready to celebrate, just to delay the downtime equalizer of the celebration.
However, fate took a turn earlier today (May 4) as Bayer Leverkusen failed to beat Freiburg to secure Bayern’s position on the table with 76 points in 32 games, scoring eight points over second-place Bayer Leverkusen in the remaining two games.
Harry Kane watches with teammates including Eric Dier, posts ecstatic videos of their singing “We are the champions,” Finally, I have been basking in the sun in his glory for a long time.
Kane’s road to this point is by no means smooth. He was rejected by many during his youth career, and he was repeatedly loaned before he rose to become a scorer in Tottenham Hotspur history.
With 280 Spurs goals and 213 goals in the Premier League, only 213 goals against Alan Shearer, his talent has never been questioned. But the trophy is still out of reach.
Even in England, the story is familiar: the 2018 World Cup semi-final exit was heartbreaking back to back in the European Championship final. His golden boots have little comfort.
When Kane moved to Bayern to Bayern in August 2023, it was assumed that the trophy would follow. However, his debut 3-0 lost to Leipzig in the German Super Cup 3-0.
Worse, Bayern was abandoned by the third-tier Saarbrücken and joined the wound by adding the Champions League semi-final loss to Real Madrid.
Despite the rough spots, Kane got the reward he sought when he left Tottenham: the championship. For a player with a record-breaking career but medals, this Bundesliga crown may just be the beginning.
