Harry Kane (31 )’s tormentingly long waiting time could finally come to an end today. England’s national team captain is about to win his first real title with FC Bayern Munich. “That would be great! Maybe a few people would stop from talking about having not yet won a title,” Kane said with the football portal of “Home of Sports”. “If we succeed after all the hard work and the commitment we invested this season, it would be a big party.”
So that after over 700 club and international matches in a decades and a half, professional career can be cheered on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) after the game against 1. FSV Mainz 05, the Munich team must win their own game. In addition, the defending champion and pursuer Bayer Leverkusen, which is facing the replacement, must not win against FC Augsburg at the same time.
Hoeneß: Nobody would have earned more than Harry Kane
Kanes’s title story is just crazy. After the top scorer with England’s national team and Tottenham Hotspur was never able to win a trophy, it should be a sure-fire success when he switched to the German series champion FC Bayern for 95 million euros in the summer of 2023. But of all people in Kane’s premiere season, the title series of the Munich team ripped after eleven championships.
With the German record champions, the number 9 also lost the DFL supercup final two years ago, flew out of the DFB Cup twice early and once in the semi-finals and this season in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Does this Kane never win a trophy?
“If we should win the championship, nobody deserves more than he deserves,” said honorary president Uli Hoeneß at “Sky” these days. Kane also waves the award as a top scorer. With 24 goals, he currently has six lead over pursuers Patrik Schick (29) from Leverkusen.
The Kane, highly decorated as a scorer with individual trophies, is likely to successfully defend his title from the previous season. He leads with 24 goals in front of the Leverkusen Patrik Schick (18 goals). He could become the first professional in Bundesliga history in his first two seasons directly twice top scorer.
