German champions renounced their domain of competition last season when Leverkusen de Xabi Alonso lifted the Meisterschale And Bayern could not win a piece of cutlery for the first time in a decade. But Vincent Kompany's side has been a favorite for much of this campaign.
Kane's failure to collect a trophy during his historical career had delighted rival fans and encouraged the talk of a “curse” trophy.
He had repeatedly reached a moving distance to finish his drought. Kane has lost a final of the Champions League and two Copao Cup finals with Tottenham Hotspur, two European championship finals with England and a German Super Cup final in its Bayern debut last season.
The captain of England joined the Bayern of the Boyhood Club Spurs in 2023 and is on the way to becoming the first player to finish his first two seasons of the Bundesliga as the top scorer of the competition.
Widely considered one of the best strikers of his generation, Kane had already won a hat of individual awards as the top scorer of all the time of England; It also occupies the second place in the Premier League career score list.
His transfer to six times Bayern European champions was to finally add trophies to those goal records.
Kane, who two weeks ago broke a league record with his 60th goal in his first 60 league games for Bayern, scored 36 times in his debut season and has 24 goals so far this term.
The Bavarian, who gathered in Munich to see Leverkusen's game together, will receive the league trophy on Saturday in their last game at the house of the season against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Kane's manager, Vincent Kompany, added: “We can take a moment to enjoy winning the Bundesliga.
“What an incredible feeling! I want to congratulate the players for their outstanding effort throughout the season. They have done it together. They have won it as a team.
“The season is not over yet, and there is still much to wait. Let's finish strong, together.”
