Harry Kane wins first major silverware as Bayern Munich seal Bundesliga title
Harry Kane's long wait for the first major title of his career is over after Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions following Bayer Leverkusen's 2-2 draw at Freiburg.
Leverkusen fought back from 2-0 down to secure a point, but the result left them eight points behind Bayern with two games to play and meant England captain Kane secured silverware in his second season in Germany, having joined Bayern from Tottenham in 2023.
Kane posted a video on social media soon after the final whistle in Freiburg, alongside the words 'We are the Champions' on X and 'What a feeling' on Instagram, showing him and his team-mates singing the Queen song during celebrations in a bar.

Alan Shearer, Robbie Keane and John Terry were among those to quickly offer congratulations to the 31-year-old.
Xabi Alonso's team needed to beat top-four rivals Freiburg on Sunday to retain faint hopes of retaining their crown.
Bayern's bid to seal a record-extending 34th German league title was delayed on Saturday after they conceded a stoppage-time equaliser in a 3-3 draw at Leipzig.
Kane, for whom Bayern paid ยฃ86.4million plus add-ons, was suspended for that match and was poised to celebrate on the touchline when Yussuf Poulsen struck for Leipzig in the fifth minute of added time.

Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany has wrestled back the domestic crown in his first campaign at the club following his appointment as Thomas Tuchel's successor last May.
Leverkusen's Bundesliga title triumph last season briefly halted Bayern's stranglehold on the competition after they had been champions for 11 successive years.
That run is the longest period of dominance by one club in Europe's major leagues, while all bar one of Bayern's 34 title successes have been achieved in the last 56 years.

Luke Littler ready for โone of the best feelings' playing at World Cup
The 18-year-old will team up in Frankfurt with Luke Humphries, who beat Littler in the Premier League final at the O2 Arena last month. Humphries guided England to a record-breaking fifth World Cup success with Michael Smith last year and a sixth crown is being plotted at Eissporthalle ahead of the tournament starting on Thursday. 'I've not spoke to anyone about putting the shirt on for your country, but I am sure it is one of the best feelings you'll ever have. I'm sure me and Luke are ready for it,' Littler reflected. THE GROUPS ๐ข Here's how the groups shape up ahead at the 2025 @BetVictor World Cup of Dartsโฆ Reminder that the top four seeded nations enter in the second round. Read more ๐ โ PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) June 4, 2025 'Obviously Luke won it last year with Michael Smith, I'm sure he'll want to go back-to-back. For myself, I want to win it on debut just as much as Luke wants to retain it.' If Littler is to enjoy a maiden World Cup of Darts triumph, he will have to improve his recent form in Germany. The start of a hex can be charted back to September when Littler collapsed from a position of strength to lose to Peter Wright in the German Darts Championship final. Boos occurred on that occasion and Littler struggled on Night Nine of the Premier League in Berlin at the start of April before three weeks later he fell short of German Grand Prix success in Munich. Littler added: 'The only bad one last year was Hildesheim against Peter Wright. I think I was 5-2 up, lost 8-5 and obviously as soon as you're beating the home favourite, as everyone likes to call it, that is when they don't start to like you. A post shared by Luke TheNuke Littler (@lukethenukelittler) 'I wouldn't say it's upset me but I would say I was obviously a bit angry. I wouldn't say (during) Premier League. The biggest one is Germany, but I did what Gerwyn Price always does, go on Instagram, have a bit of a moan and take it down half an hour later.' World Cup delight with England โ with the holders set to start their campaign in the second round on Saturday โ will help Littler forget about his past tricky experiences in Germany and may change his mind on whether darts should be entered into the Olympics. 'Yeah, there was a lot of talk last year on the Olympics and for myself, I don't have a clue,' Littler admitted. 'Would it be good? Would it be bad? I'm not really an Olympics person, so I won't sit there and watch it. 'I don't know if it would be good or bad for darts. I am not sure if it would fit in as much.'
