England captain Harry Kane sings 'Sweet Caroline' as Bayern Munich star celebrates Bundesliga title - after finally ending trophy drought

Daily Mail​18-05-2025

Harry Kane revelled in Bayern Munich 's Bundesliga title celebrations this weekend, as the England captain belted out 'Sweet Caroline' in front of the German fans.
Kane finally lifted the first trophy of his career last week at the Allianz Arena, after Bayern pipped title rivals Bayer Leverkusen to Bundesliga glory, earning the Bavaria club their 12th Bundesliga title in 13 seasons.
The England captain scored his 25th league goal in another stellar season for Bayern, who cruised to a 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach last week to put the gloss on a title triumph that was confirmed before the game.
And as is the tradition for Bayern, their public celebration of the major title saw them take to the central square in Munich in front of thousands of fans.
Bayern's title parade saw them travel through the city and culminated in a celebration where each of the players lifted the Bundesliga trophy on the balcony of the New Town Hall in Marienplatz.
And as Kane celebrated his long-awaited achievement, he sang along to 'Sweet Caroline', which was blasted out of the speakers.

Kane was joined by fellow countrywoman Georgia Stanway, who plays for Bayern's women's team in the Frauen-Bundesliga.
The attacking midfielder was pivotal in the women's side's success this season, which saw them also win their league.
After ending a 15-year wait to win a trophy in his senior career, Kane revealed his first team honour trumped the feeling of winning individual awards, the latter of which he has earned a plethora.
'It's been a long time coming,' Kane said, after he had been drenched in beer by teammates.
'It means more than any of the goalscoring awards, for sure. There's no secret that there has been this one thing that has been missing from my resume.
'It was a weight on my shoulders and now it's been lifted. I've had plenty of individual accolades and been close on so many occasions to trophies, but for one reason or another, it hasn't quite worked.
'When you go through a season, the ups and downs, the work, the training, all together with the team, with the staff, you, to have this release and have this kind of celebration at the end, I've never been able to have that before. It was just so nice to have that moment.'

Man Utd make lowball opening transfer bid for Bryan Mbeumo with Brentford star demanding £250k-a-week to sign

MANCHESTER UNITED have launched their opening bid for Bryan Mbeumo - but it is under Brentford's asking price, reports say. Ruben Amorim - who led United to a club-worst 15th place Premier League finish last season - is looking to bolster his attack. 4 Already, Matheus Cunha will arrive from Wolves for £62.5million after the Red Devils reluctantly met his release clause. And now Brentford's versatile forward Mbeumo - capable of playing out wide or through the middle - is their next target. According to The Athletic, United submitted an opening offer of £45million plus £10m in add-ons. But that is said to be below Brentford's asking price - with negotiations ongoing to strike an agreement. Mbeumo has a year left on his contract at the Gtech Community Stadium — plus an option to extend by 12 months. But he is pushing for a move to Old Trafford despite interest from the likes of Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham. Although the French-born Cameroon international is believed to be demanding wages of £250,000-per-week. That is FIVE TIMES the weekly £50,000 salary he currently earns. 4 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Mbeumo joined Brentford from French club Troyes in 2019 and enjoyed a breakout season over the last 12 months.

TEAMSHEET: Can YOU name the Chelsea team that beat Man United 5-0 in 1999? Or pick YOUR team and guess their starting XI

Welcome back to Teamsheet... Mail Sport's original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates. Today, we're taking you back to the 1999-2000 campaign for the clash between Chelsea and Man United - where Gianluca Vialli's side ran riot at Stamford Bridge. Sir Alex Ferguson 's Red Devils would go on to clinch the Premier League title but, today, we want to see whether you can name the Chelsea line-up from the day. It's just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score... full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI. Best of luck! HOW TO PLAY The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible! If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point - so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11. Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it'll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it'll turn yellow. You have six guesses for each player - and if you fail, we'll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point. So play on to see if you'll score the best possible total of 11 - or fail on every player and score 121.

Bernardo Silva bitterly claims the referee 'doesn't know the rules' - after clashing with Florian Wirtz in Portugal's 2-1 Nations League semi-final win over Germany

Bernardo Silva hit out at the official in charge of Portugal's 2-1 Nations League semi-final win over Germany, claiming he 'doesn't know the rules'. The thrilling clash at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night was settled by Cristiano Ronaldo 's 68th-minute strike - his record-extending 137th at international level - which came after the sides had traded eye-catching finishes. Germany, who were looking to claim their first Nations League crown, took the lead in somewhat controversial fashion as Liverpool target Florian Wirtz headed home from close range with the aid of a block from Nick Woltemade, who appeared to be in an offside position. It was one of a number of strange calls from Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic, who needed only a glance at the pitchside monitor to confirm the effort, that raised the temperature in a feisty encounter. Silva took aim at the official as he praised his side for fighting back, first from Francisco Conceicao's stunner before Ronaldo's tap-in, and slammed Vincic for not understanding the rules of the game. 'A tough game, we expected that because they have a lot of quality,' the Manchester City star. 'Playing at home, we knew they were going to play with a lot of intensity, with a lot of energy like they always do. 'But today we played a good game. A lot of character, a lot of intensity as well from us. Going down 1-0 is not easy in the beginning of the [second] half even if the goal is offside, even if the referee doesn't know the rules but that's another question. 'We're happy we were able to come back.' On an eventful night in Munich, the 30-year-old and his compatriot Bruno Fernandes were among the Portugal stars involved in heated confrontations with Wirtz, who is expected to be lining up against the pair in the Premier League next season. Liverpool are pursuing a club record transfer of attacking midfielder Wirtz, with Bayer Leverkusen holding out for £120million for one of Europe's most sought-after midfielders. The Reds are currently at £109m, but reports suggest a deal is on the verge of being agreed, with personal terms not an issue. The 22-year-old won the praise of some Liverpool fans online for a crunching, studs-up tackle on Manchester United skipper Fernandes in the first half before later rowing with Silva. In the first half, Wirtz challenged Fernandes for a ball, but mis-timed his tackle and stood on his opponent's foot. Fernandes hit the ground in agony and hobbled through the remaining minutes up to half-time. Things then escalated in the second period. During a Germany attack, Wirtz as tripped by Silva on the half-way line and himself stayed on the ground in pain. A few minutes later, off the ball, there was an altercation. The two players - who could have been team-mates had City not pulled out of their pursuit of Wirtz - went almost head-to-head when Silva hit the deck, seemingly claiming he had been stood on. Wirtz tried to lift the 30-year-old up from the floor, but Fernandes raced in and pulled the German away from the scene. A pushing match ensued between a number of players, with Wirtz booked for his involvement. VAR deemed there was no foul play in his altercation with Silva. Wednesday night's result means Portugal will go onto play either Spain or France in Sunday's Nations League final, while Germany will face the other in a third-place play-off.
