Harry Kane wins first trophy as Bayern Munich claims Bundesliga title.
Yes, Harry Kane has won his first major professional trophy. On May 4, 2025, Bayern Munich clinched the Bundesliga title after Bayer Leverkusen drew with Freiburg, ensuring Bayern’s lead was unassailable with two games remaining. Bayern Munich secured their 33rd Bundesliga title on Sunday, and in doing so ended Harry Kane’s long wait for the first major trophy of his senior career.
Kane, who joined Bayern Munich in 2023, had previously faced criticism for not winning silverware despite his individual success. He had reached several finals with Tottenham Hotspur and the England national team but had not secured a major title. This Bundesliga victory marks a significant milestone in his career. Kane, 31, could have earned his first winner’s medal on Saturday had Bayern won at RB Leipzig in the striker’s absence; he watched on from the stands as he served a suspension for picking up his fifth yellow card of the season the week before. But a 94th-minute equalizer from Leipzig’s Yussuf Poulsen kept the champagne on ice.
Kane posted a trophy emoji on a black background on his Instagram stories minutes after Bayern’s title win was confirmed and then added another post of him celebrating and singing “We Are the Champions” before being doused with champagne. He then shared a video of him singing Queen’s 1977 hit “We Are the Champions.”
Kane’s failure to collect a trophy during his storied career had delighted rival fans and fostered talk of a trophy “curse.” He had repeatedly come within touching distance of ending his drought. Kane has lost a Champions League final and two Carabao Cup finals with Tottenham Hotspur, two European Championship finals with England and a German Super Cup final on his Bayern debut last season.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of his generation, Kane had already won a hatful of individual awards as England’s all-time top scorer; he also ranks second on the Premier League’s career scoring list. Kane, who two weeks ago broke a league record with his 60th goal in his first 60 league games for Bayern, netted 36 times in his debut season and has 24 goals so far this term. In addition to the league title, Kane had an outstanding individual season, scoring 36 goals in the Bundesliga, which earned him the Torjägerkanone (Bundesliga top scorer award) and the European Golden Shoe as Europe’s best goal scorer.
Kane’s manager Vincent Kompany added: “We can take a moment now to enjoy winning the Bundesliga. What an incredible feeling! I want to congratulate the players for their outstanding effort throughout the season. You’ve done this together. You’ve won it as a team. The season’s not over yet, and there’s still so much to look forward to. Let’s finish strong together.”
