Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), who used to be synonymous with 'no relation' has finally achieved his dream.
Kane lifted his first championship trophy after winning 2-0 in the 33rd round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season against Mönchengladbach at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 11th (Korea time). It's the golden top since its professional debut.
Bayern confirmed its Bundesliga championship this season on the 5th. The victory ceremony was held on this day.
Kane left Tottenham for Germany's prestigious Bayern in August 2023 to win the championship. There was no need for time to adapt. He has scored 44 goals in all tournaments, including 36 in the Bundesliga in his first season.
However, he failed to win again. It was an extraordinary event. Bayern failed to win the Bundesliga for 12 consecutive seasons, and failed to advance to the final in the European Champions League (UCL). In the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal, the FA Cup, he was caught up by a third-division team in the first game and suffered a setback early.
Kane finally shook off the 'Curse of nothing' in his second year at Bayern. Bayern returned to the throne after two years. Kane scored the opening goal against Mönchengladbach. He booked the top scorer for the second year in a row, scoring 25 goals. He swept 37 goals in all competitions.

Kane's coronation was accompanied by his wife and three children as well as his parents. He became the first player in Bundesliga history to score 25 goals in the first two seasons. After the game, I was soaked in beer amid cheering celebrations.
He also wished for Tottenham's victory. Tottenham is also just one step away from the top. Tottenham beat Norway's Bohd/Glimt on the 9th to confirm their advance to the Europa League final.
The final opponent is Manchester United, which beat Athletic Bilbao. Tottenham will play the long-awaited final against Manchester United at 4 a.m. on the 22nd at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.
The last time Tottenham won was the 2007-2008 League Cup. He is aiming to win his first championship in 17 years. In the case of the European competition, he is dreaming of becoming the top in 41 years after winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.
Kane's Tottenham best friend Son Heung-min is also preparing to return. Since his last appearance in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 11th of last month, he has been out of the team due to injuries. Son Heung-min missed seven matches, including four in the English Premier League and three in the Europa League.

After Son Heung-min confirmed his advance to the finals, he shared a poster of Totonum's advance to the finals on social media and said, "'Good morning." I'll see you on the pitch soon.' Tottenham will play Crystal Palace in the 36th round of the EPL at 10:15 p.m. on the 11th. Coach Enze Postecoglou expects Son to be able to play even for a few minutes. He is the only player who can return to the team," he said.
Son Heung-min is also 'not related' Kane said of Tottenham after the victory ceremony: `Obviously they've had a tough season, and that's a fact that can't be hidden. However, reaching the Europa League final is a great achievement. "I will also wait and see if Tottenham win. I think this could be a good month for many Tottenham fans. A lot of fans have contacted me and were happy to see me win. I think we will all be delighted to see Spurs win" he said.

I had a heavy burden on my shoulders, and now I'm glad I can put it down and enjoy it."
Kane joined Bayern's tradition of players pouring beer on each other's heads after winning. He "It was cold. It was so cold as soon as I got wet. Even though I was with my wife, she smelled beer, so she avoided me."
Bayern's Kim Min-jae also enjoyed the joy of the summit. Kane's motivation to join Byrne, he once again lifted the trophy two years after leading Italy's Serie A Napoli to its first championship in 33 years in the 2022-2023 season.
