‘Heavier than I thought’ - Surprise for trophy rookie Harry Kane as silverware curse is finally broken with beer-soaked Bundesliga title triumph

The England captain has finally broken his career-long curse after becoming a Bundesliga title winner in 2024-25. His 25 goals in the German top-flight have seen a domestic crown return to the Allianz Arena.

Kane got his hands on a long-awaited trophy as wild celebrations were sparked in Bavaria after a 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach. Every effort was made to put the prolific frontman front and centre on a huge day in his career.

The beer flowed in Munich - much of it over the heads of Bayern players and coaches - but there was to be no dampening Kane’s spirits. He now has a taste of what it is like to collect a winners’ medal.

Speaking on his Cleats Club channel, he said of hoisting the Bundesliga title aloft: “It’s actually heavier than I thought it was going to be. I don’t know how much it weighs. Especially when it got wet with the beer, it was hard to grip hold of. It felt good. It felt like it had been earned. To lift that was an amazing feeling.”

Kane added on another party that extended well into the Munich evening: “The celebrations have been really good. It was an amazing night - to have all my family there after and to celebrate with everyone on the pitch. We’ve had a long, hard season and this is the reward we get.”

Bayern have just one more fixture to take in this season. They will, however, be involved at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with Kane ready to chase down another major honour when heading to the United States.
