The Bayer Leverkusen Bayer in Freiburg (2-2) this Sunday allowed Bayern Munich to proclaim himself Bundesliga champion in a mathematical wayrecover the hegemony of German football with its title number 33 and break a historical warehouse of Harry Kane, which after 12 seasons in the elite premiered its record.
Kane may finally smile. He has needed 517 official matches (428 at Tottenham and 89 at Bayern Munich) to introduce a trophy into his personal showcase. He will celebrate it in Munich, after his interrupted joy on the lawn of the Leipzig stadium, where the Bavarian team hoped to proclaim himself champion this Saturday.
Somewhat from Yussuf Poulen in the 94th minute, the final 3-3, prevented the Vincent Kompany team. And, in addition, he extended the myth of the Kane's ear, which, sanctioned, saw the clash from the stands and took a jug of tremendous cold water when he went down to the pitch to celebrate the bundesliga with his teammates. Poulen, with his success in the added time, annoyed him a party that can now celebrate.
Already last summer, Kane was very close to lifting a title with The selection from England, but his team felt his knee against Spain in the final of the Eurocup. He lost 2-1 and the English attacker's dream vanished to break his bad luck with the titles.
Besides, Last year, Kane, in his first campaign at Bayern Munich, saw how his club, the most laureate of German football, escaped the league title because the 'Xabineta' He was intractable and made with a historic double: the men led by Xabi Alonso were made with the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
Kane's numbers, with Bayern Munich, in the 89 games that have been played with the Bavarian club, are superstar. Before the duel against Leipzig this Saturday, the English attacker signed some star records with 80 goals and 22 assists.
In the last campaign, Kane was the top scorer of the Bundesliga with 36 goals and in 2024-2025 it is on the way to repeat that individual success. However, despite his talent, the vigorous 1.90 meter striker has had to wait 31 years to raise his first important title.

“If we won the championship, which I really hope, nobody deserves it more than him,” said Kane a few days ago Uri HoESS, historical personality of Bayern Munich and honor president of the Bavarian entity.
But Kane's party will also be that of Bayern, which on day 32, two before the end, won a title that brings back the glory to the Bavarian club, which recovered the status of champion after the victory last campaign of the Bayer Leverkusen of Xabi Alonso.
For the Muniqués team, the league title is more than a relief, after the recent elimination of the 'Champions' in the quarterfinals against Inter Milan, a current rival of Barcelona in the maximum European club competition.
In the offices, on the bench and among the players it was clear that, as the midfielder and metronome of the Joshua Kimmich team game recently pointed out, not winning the Bundesliga in this campaign would have meant “another bad season.”
In Munich, a city used to celebrating national titles at play in German football, the double achieved by Xabi Alonso in the 2023-2024 season was something that lamented, although surely not so much after the success of this Saturday.

Nor does it seem to question the work of the Belgian Vincent Kompany, who premiered at the head of the bench of a great European team this season and whose arrival, according to the German sports weekly 'Kicker', had a lot of “experiment”.
Not surprisingly, the Belgian had directed, before he was at Bayern Munich, the Burnley, modest of English football, which he dealt with between 2022 and 2024, and on whose bench he achieved a promotion and suffered a decrease.
The reality is that the Bavarian club has not had stability on the bench in the last five years, in which up to five coaches like Nico Kovac, Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel and Kompany himself have sat on him.
The League that won the Bayern Sunday, with an offensive and cohesive game with which he has signed 33 victories, 8 draws and 7 losses In all competitions, they endorse Kompany, although Bayern is one of those clubs that, once raised a title, already thinks to how to conquer all the competitions played by the next campaign.
