Harry Kane’s Trophy Drought Ends As Bayern Munich Win Bundesliga (Photo)

Bayern Munich have won their 33rd Bundesliga title and in doing so Harry Kane’s long wait for the first major trophy of his senior career has come to an end.

Kane, 31, could have earned his first winners’ 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 equaliser from Leipzig’s Yussuf Poulsen kept the champagne on ice.

Bayern’s title win was eventually confirmed on Sunday when second-placed Bayer Leverkusen fell to a 2-2 draw at Freiburg, meaning they could no longer mathematically better Bayern’s total with two matches remaining.

Leverkusen’s draw ends Kane’s run of playing 694 matches for club and country without having a single trophy to show for it.

The perennial German champions relinquished their stranglehold on the competition last season when Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen lifted the Meisterschale and Bayern failed to win a piece of silverware for the first time in a decade, but Vincent Kompany’s side have been frontrunners for much of this campaign.

Kane’s failure to collect a trophy during a career in which he has won a number of individual accolades had delighted rival fans and he had repeatedly come within touching distance of ending his drought.

He 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.

The England captain joined Bayern from boyhood club Spurs in 2023 and is on track to become the first player to end his first two Bundesliga seasons as the competition’s top scorer.

He netted 36 times in his debut season and has 24 goals with two matches remaining.
