Kane Set To Silence Critics With Bundesliga Triumph In Sight

‎After a successful career filled with individual accolades but no team trophies, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is on the verge of his first title.

‎This could be achieved by the end of Saturday’s home match against Mainz.

‎If they triumph over sixth-placed Mainz and second-placed Bayer Leverkusen does not secure a victory against Augsburg at home, Bayern and Kane will be crowned Bundesliga champions.

‎Bayern are eight points clear with four games remaining, so a first title for Kane is a mere formality.

‎But after losing six finals, three with Tottenham, two with England, and one with Bayern, a debut title win would be a long-awaited reward for the 31-year-old forward.

‎After two decades at boyhood club Tottenham, Kane moved to Bayern in 2023, motivated by a desire for team honors.

‎Bayern’s hopes of winning the Champions League at their home stadium were dashed with a quarter-final loss to Inter Milan.

‎However, securing the Bundesliga title would help ease the disappointment of a trophyless 2023/24 season.

‎Kane has rarely spoken about the title, preferring to focus on the task at hand, but in February, he revealed how much the pursuit of a teahonorur drove him.

‎”There are many people who, throughout my career, only talk about the fact I haven’t won a title yet. It would be nice to silence a few of them,” Kane said.

‎Kane would also join Kevin Keegan and Owen Hargreaves as Englishmen who won the Bundesliga.

‎Speaking with Sky Germany on Wednesday, Bayern powerbroker Uli Hoeness a key player behind the 100 million euro (£86.4m) decision to bring Kane to Bavaria, said, “Nobody deserves the title more” than the England captain.

‎Calling Kane “a real Bayern player”, Hoeness lavished praise on the striker, saying, “he fights, he works, he scores an incredible number of goals, but he also works hard for the team.

‎”You can feel that he absolutely wants to win this title.”
