Star striker Harry Kane has put behind him the criticism received for the lack of titles in his career, celebrating his recent victory in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich. The player, known for his exceptional goalscoring ability, has finally added a trophy to his list of achievements, marking a significant milestone in his career.
Kane Celebrates His First Title
Kane, 32, conquered the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich on May 4, and subsequently lifted the Meisterschale trophy at the Allianz Arena after his team’s victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The long wait of the England national team captain for his first title had been the subject of mockery by rival fans. This situation led him to leave Tottenham Hotspur, the club of his childhood, to join the German giant in 2023.
It’s a weight off my shoulders. I’m very aware that I hadn’t won it. I put more pressure on myself than anyone else. As the years go by, you start to think: Is it going to happen? You keep going, you keep pushing, and good things come, and this is definitely one of them. And we’ll see what people talk about now. I’m sure they’ll find something and I’ll take it easy.
Harry Kane
Despite his numerous individual accolades, Kane’s lack of titles had generated speculation about a supposed “curse”.
Success in the Bundesliga comes after losing a Champions League final and two League Cup finals with Tottenham, two European Championship finals with England and a German Super Cup final in his debut with Bayern last season.
Bayern secured their 33rd Bundesliga title when Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 with Freiburg. Kane and his teammates celebrated the victory, sharing videos of the celebrations on their social media.
Kane, who is on track to become the first player to finish his first two Bundesliga seasons as the competition’s top scorer, reflected on his decision to leave North London and move to Bavaria.Kane highlighted that the decision to join Bayern was motivated by the desire to improve and play in the most important matches. “I could have easily stayed at Tottenham, continued scoring goals in the Premier League, but I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to see how good I could be and play in the most important matches, in the biggest title fights and in Champions League matches. I have done it.
