With the championship with FC Bayern, striker Harry Kane breaks a curse after 14 years. The relief is great.
In the run -up to the game of FC Bayern at RB Leipzig (3: 3), Vincent Kompany did not want to deal with the Bavarian ritual of the beer shower for a master coach so far. “All these scenarios are not yet in my head,” said the 39 -year -old coach of the Munich coach. Only the game is important to him and what happens in the 90 minutes.
It is not transmitted whether there was a beer shower for Kompany on Sunday evening. The clothes of the Belgian probably remained dry. In the “Beetle”, some Bayern players and members of the coaching staff followed the duel between SC Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen, which finally tightened the championship. After the final whistle, some players were added to celebrate the title.
It was the 34th championship for the record champion and after many years of routine again. The fact that the master shell is again a real reason to celebrate is to a certain extent owe companies Thomas Tuchel, under which the title went well to Bayer Leverkusen last year.
Kompany has fulfilled his mission to make Bavaria back number one in the country. And won his first big title – at least as a head coach in Munich. In advance, he had emphasized several times that after the second division championship and promotion to the Premier League with FC Burnley 2023, this is not his first title. “Otherwise I did the parade in Burnley for free,” he joked.
This is certainly not the case for Thomas Müller. With his a total of 13 championship titles, the 35-year-old is finally the record champion at the record champions. And as such, will say goodbye to his heart club at the end of the season after the club World Cup. The 39 -year -old captain Manuel Neuer will try to draw with Müller in the coming season. Müller’s first championship was still pursuing the goalkeeper from Gelsenkirchen.
At Bavaria there are also numerous master debutants. In addition to sports director Max Eberl and sports director Christoph Freund, these are eleven players: Eric Dier, Raphaël Guerreiro, Daniel Peretz, Jonas Urbig, Konrad Laimer, Min-Jae Kim, Sacha Boey, João Palhinha, Michael Olise, Hiroki Itō and of course Harry Kane.
When FC Bayern failed sensationally with the third division team Saarbrücken a year and a half ago, the “Daily Star” headed to the island with relish: “The Harry-Kane curse is real.” It was another chance for the striker to win the first trophy of his impressive career. But that’s not all: the legendary “curse” continued.
With the championship, the captain of the English national team has now finally broken him after 14 years of professional and, among other things, two lost EM final and a lost Champions League final with Tottenham.
Before the league game in Leipzig on Saturday, some fans had been stuck that Kane was missing yellow -locked when FC Bayern had his first match ball for the championship. “It’s a bit of my story,” took it even with humor. “But it doesn’t mean that I am not winning the title, right? No fear, I will celebrate more than everyone else,” Kane also announced. Bavaria was not yet mastered in Leipzig, but a day later. And Kane tried to follow his words in the “Beetle”.
Kane undoubtedly has a large proportion of success. “You can feel that he absolutely wants to win this title,” Bavaria’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß last said at Sky: “In the past few months I have felt that he has become a real FC Bavaria player. He is fighting, he scores an incredible number of goals, but he also works for the team.” Hoeneß came to the conclusion: “If we were to win the championship, nobody deserves it than him.”
