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. We are the Champions!! 🏆 — Harry Kane (@HKane) May 4, 2025 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 £86.4million 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. 🏆 𝐃𝐄𝐔𝐓𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 🏆 Brought it home. For the club, for the fans, for the city. ❤️🤍 #MiaSanMeister — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) May 4, 2025 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.

Bayern Munich crowned Bundesliga champion for 33rd time after Bayer Leverkusen drew a tie against Freiburg
Bayern Munich has been crowned Bundesliga champion for a record-extending 33rd time with two games remaining after its closest title rival Bayer Leverkusen drew a 2-2 tie against SC Freiburg on Sunday afternoon. Down 2-1 in extra time, Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah leveled the game on a flicked header which found the far bottom corner at Europa-Park Stadion. But the dramatic equalizer was not enough to deprive Munich of yet another Bundesliga trophy. Bayern was on the verge of claiming the title on Saturday after goals from Eric Dier, Michael Olise and Leroy Sané powered Vincent Kompany's team to a remarkable comeback against RB Leipzig, which had led 2-0 at halftime. But the celebrations had to be delayed when Leipzig forward Yussuf Poulsen equalized in the fourth minute of second-half injury time. However, Sunday's result means that Bayer Leverkusen – last year's champion – can no longer catch Bayern, despite having two games left to play. Leverkusen's title win in 2023-24 is the only time in the last 13 seasons that a team other than Bayern has been German champion. 🏆 𝐃𝐄𝐔𝐓𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 🏆Brought it home. For the club, for the fans, for the city. ❤️🤍#MiaSanMeister Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach, the joint-second most successful teams in Bundesliga history, have five titles each since the league's inaugural season began in 1963. Kompany has impressed domestically in his first year since joining from English club Burnley, with Bayern having sat top of the league since the third week of the season. The title win also represents the first time that English striker Harry Kane has ever won silverware with club or country. The former Tottenham Hotspur player has lost in the European Championship final on two occasions and the Champions League final once, but can now add a club trophy to his long list of personal accolades.
