Harry Kane: Career-first trophy with Bayern Munich was 'special'

The England captain achieved the triumph at the end of last season, ending years of near-misses despite his status as one of Europe's most clinical finishers.

"Obviously it was a long time coming," Kane told The Athletic.

"There was a lot of hard work from when I started my career to that moment. A lot of ups and downs, a lot of close moments. As the years go on and you get closer, it just made me more motivated to get over the line, to make sure I win the first trophy.

"It was a special feeling. We had a restaurant that we took over and just got drunk and celebrated together. Then lifting the trophy at the Allianz in front of the fans and being on that side of it for once was really special. I had my family there, my kids on the pitch after.

"Those are the moments that make it all worth it. You work so hard throughout the year, you're away a lot, you're training a lot. To not have had a celebration like that in the 10 or 12 years I've been playing... it was nice to have that feeling."

Now the focal point of Vincent Kompany's Bayern side, Kane continues to impress in the 2025/26 season, scoring 22 goals in 20 Bundesliga appearances as of February 2026, alongside several key assists.

He has also shone in the Champions League, netting eight goals in eight matches to guide Bayern into the knockout stages.

Having surpassed 100 goals for the club in record time, Kane leads Bayern's attack with authority as they chase a historic treble.
