Harry Kane finally wins his first major trophy
After many years of coming close but falling short, English footballer Harry Kane has finally won a major trophy. This victory puts an end to the so-called "Tottenham curse" that many believed had followed him throughout his career.
Kane joined Bayern Munich last summer after spending many years at Tottenham Hotspur, where he became a top goal scorer but never won a title. On the day Bayern were confirmed as Bundesliga champions, Kane was suspended due to yellow card accumulation and couldn't play.
However, he celebrated the win with his teammates after Bayer Leverkusen's draw with Freiburg secured the title for Bayern. A video showed Kane happily singing "We are the champions" as he celebrated.
For Kane, this trophy is a major feat. Even though he is England's all-time leading goal scorer and has won many Golden Boots, he has lost six major finals, including the Champions League, League Cup, and Euro 2020 with England. His move to Bayern was seen as a chance to finally win something, but after early exits from other tournaments and a challenging league season, some critics still talked about the "curse."
Despite those challenges, Kane played a key role for Bayern this season. He scored 36 goals in all competitions and provided 15 assists. He also broke several records, became a leader in the team, and adapted well to life in Germany. Many of his teammates and Bayern legends praised his performances and attitude.
Some fans joked that the Bundesliga trophy is more like a plate than a real cup. But for Kane and his supporters, this doesn't matter. This title is an important and emotional moment. Now that he has his first trophy, Kane will be hoping to win more, including at the upcoming Club World Cup.
