Harry Kane wins first career trophy after winning Bundesliga with Bayern Munich

After 14 years and nearly 700 games, Harry Kane has finally won the first major team trophy of his footballing career.

The record goalscorer for England and Tottenham Hotspur, for the first time in his career, is a trophy winner as Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions without having to kick a ball on Sunday.

It may not have happened in the most dramatic fashion - Kane wasn't on the pitch and Bayern didn't even play - but it was a moment of long-overdue joy for a player who has lived so often on the edge of glory without crossing the line.

Title Confirmed Without a Kick

Bayern's title was confirmed when second-placed Bayer Leverkusen could only draw 2-2 with Freiburg.

That result meant Bayern, who dropped points the previous day thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser by RB Leipzig, couldn't be caught.

And when confirmation came, the 31-year-old took to X to post a video with teammates singing Queen's "We Are The Champions" in jubilant celebration.

14-Year Wait Comes to an End

It has taken Kane 694 senior appearances and 447 goals to lift his first major team trophy.

For years, he has been labelled the best player never to win silverware - a narrative that has now, finally, been rewritten.

From Champions League and Premier League runner-ups, to near misses in the Carabao Cup and European Championship finals, Kane's career has been a story of brilliance without reward.

But that changed with Bayern's 33rd Bundesliga title, a win that gives the striker a winner's medal and removes the asterisk that often accompanied discussions about his greatness.

A Move with One Purpose

Kane's move to Munich in the summer of 2023 was no secret - it was all about winning trophies.

The journey hasn't been simple. Bayern lost the DFL Supercup in his debut and were beaten to the domestic double by a dominant Bayer Leverkusen.

Yet Kane's phenomenal 80 goals in 89 matches have played a crucial role in Bayern's season - even if he watched the title-sealing moment from afar.

Champion at Last

For Kane, this isn't just a Bundesliga title - it's vindication. A release. The end of every "what if" and every meme about empty trophy cabinets.

Now, he is no longer just a great goalscorer. He is a champion.
