“Kane, you believe it?”: Press celebrates Bayern’s champion striker

Munich. FC Bayern Munich wins the German championship for the 34th time. Goalscorer Harry Kane celebrates his first ever club title and is celebrated by the international press.

• BBC: "Despite all his goals and individual accolades, Harry Kane has long been criticized for never winning a trophy. After six lost finals, the perseverance of the humble but relentless goalscorer has paid off."
• “The Sun”: “Kane, you believe it? Harry Kane finally wins his first trophy.”
• Telegraph: "This should silence all the idiots who claim Harry Kane has never won anything. For years, Harry Kane would have traded any of his personal records for a first major trophy, but now, along with all those milestones, the striker has a winner's medal to cement his place among the greatest players of his generation."
• Daily Mail: "The title goes some way to justifying his £100 million move from Tottenham in the summer of 2023, when he left his beloved club after 19 years in pursuit of the coveted league title. Despite being one of the most prolific strikers of the modern era, Kane has had to wait 15 seasons—and 694 games—for this moment."

• “Marca”: “Kane’s curse ends: Kane finally wins the first title of his career.”
• "El Periódico": "Kane's curse ends: Kane finally wins the first title of his career. After six finals and 458 goals in his 14-year career, the Englishman now has the Bundesliga title in his pocket."

• "Gazzetta dello Sport": "Bayern is celebrating on the couch. For Bayern, it's their 21st title in the last 29 seasons. Thomas Müller holds a record with 13 championships. For Kane, however, it's the first title of his career."

• "L'Équipe": "With FC Bayern Munich winning the German championship title, Harry Kane can receive the first major trophy of his career. This ends a curse that had followed Harry Kane since the beginning of his career."
• "Le Parisien": "Bayern Munich becomes German champion, Harry Kane wins the first title of his career. After Bayer Leverkusen's 2-2 draw in Freiburg, Bayern Munich are officially German champions for the 34th time. Harry Kane seizes the opportunity to win the first title of his career at the age of 31."
