'If only you'd left Tottenham sooner!' - Kane's first-ever trophy success nearly breaks the internet as 'congratulations Harry' starts trending after Bayern Munich are crowned 2024-25 Bundesliga champions

The England captain claimed the first major title of his career as Bayern Munich were confirmed Bundesliga champions after Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 2-2 draw by Freiburg on Sunday afternoon. Following confirmation of the title, Kane shared a joyous video on his social platforms, showing the Bayern squad belting out Queen’s iconic anthem We Are The Champions while enjoying celebratory beers.

The football world reacted swiftly and warmly to Kane’s long-awaited success.

One fan, @WelBeast, wrote: “Congratulations Harry. Well deserved. If only you’d have left Tottenham sooner.”

Another, @UTDdahnny added: “Kane curse might be over but the football world won. Congratulations, Harry Kane.”

A third message from @Hriday1812 read: “Congratulations Harry Kane on winning your first ever trophy in Football. A very humble and hardworking player and happy that he has finally got what he deserved.

@o_lee_0133 commented on the surreal nature of Kane's career path, saying: "Crazy that one of the best, most complete strikers of our generation didn't win a single trophy until the twilight years of his career. Nevertheless, congratulations Harry Kane. You deserve it. 👏🏾"

Even journalist Nizaar Kinsella weighed in with praise, tweeting: "Good on him, always felt he was the best player in world football yet to win a major trophy for club or country. Richly deserved."

Kane, who has netted 24 league goals so far this season, has played a central role in Bayern’s successful campaign. However, the triumph marks a significant turning point not only for Kane but also for head coach Vincent Kompany. Just one year ago, Kompany was managing Burnley, a side that ended up relegated from the Premier League. Now, he has his first major honour as a manager in one of Europe’s top leagues.

With the Bundesliga title secured and the champagne already flowing, Bayern fans now turn their attention to next weekend’s home fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach. Kane and his team-mates are expected to receive a raucous welcome at the Allianz Arena, where fans will gather in droves to celebrate their success. For Kane, it will be a moment of reflection and release, finally having banished the trophyless tag that followed him for so long.
