England captain Harry Kane has claimed the first major trophy of his career after Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions for a record-extending 34th time on Sunday, May 4, 2025.
Bayern secured the title after Bayer Leverkusen could only draw 2-2 at Freiburg. The result left Leverkusen eight points behind Bayern with just two games to go, handing the trophy back to the Bavarians, who lost it to Leverkusen last season.
Kane, who missed Bayern’s 3-3 draw at RB Leipzig on Saturday due to suspension, watched the Leverkusen match with teammates in Munich. He celebrated the moment on social media, writing: *”We are the Champions!”*
Leverkusen needed a win to keep the title race alive but went two goals down before staging a late comeback. Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah scored in the final minutes, but it wasn’t enough to stop Bayern from regaining the title.
Bayern will be officially presented with the Bundesliga shield at home next Saturday against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, who previously played for Bayern, praised his former team. “They were more consistent. They deserve the title,” he said.
Leverkusen, who went unbeaten to win the league last season, now face uncertainty over the future of both Alonso and star midfielder Wirtz, with big clubs reportedly circling.
Meanwhile, Bayern celebrate not just their title, but a key milestone for Kane, who finally ends his long wait for silverware after years of near-misses at Tottenham and with the England national team.
