X/@HKaneThe English striker was priceless with joy when Bayern won their second Bundesliga title and Kane finally managed to grasp a major trophy. The 30-year-old had posted on social media while celebrating, taking in the moment with his teammates and fans, with a caption that read, “Munich way to celebrate! Truly special way to celebrate this title with our fans.”

Kane’s first major silverware came after his departure from Tottenham in the summer, putting an end to years of personal anguish as he went on to become one of the most prolific scorers under the sun. His record-breaking 36 goals in the Bundesliga this season was a major factor for Bayern’s domestic success, although opportunities in the Champions League and DFB-Pokal eluded them.
Reactions flooded in from all over the football world, many celebrating this long-overdue victory for Kane. One aficionado wrote, “Mia San Mia! Way to go!!” referring to Bayern’s famous club motto meaning, “We are who we are.” Another emotional fan said, “Wednesday we’ll live it God willing,” looking forward to further celebrations.
Many comments pointed out how worthy this moment was for Kane, after years of carrying Tottenham in attack and coming up trophy-less. “You more than deserve that feeling,” stated one user, while another commented, “Never seen you so happy hahaha,” referring to Kane’s normally stoic demeanor. The former Spurs hitching for the striker also flashed out, one fan pleading, “Now pls return to Tottenham mate,” while another said, “I hope your friend Son learns a thing or two from you.”
The international aspect was also not forgotten: An England supporter jabbed, “Just need to win a trophy for England now,” alluding to Kane as captain of the Three Lions. Meanwhile, in anticipation, comments poured in that said, “Enjoy it big man you deserve more than this in your career; I hope you win the CL next season,” a sign that expectations remain very high for Bayern’s star man.
In contrast, many of the comments were tinged with humour, like “Don’t get too drunk like Grealish,” in reference to Jack Grealish’s notorious, wild celebrations following Manchester City’s title win. Another comment on Kane’s photo with actor Seann William Scott (Stifler from American Pie) said, “Harry Kane and Stifler, who would have thought it.”
Perhaps the celebratory vibe would have been harshly cut short by the more cynical contributor, “Just a pity that it is the German League & not the Premier League title given you are an Englishman.” However, comments like these were few and far between amidst the gushes of positivity that greeted Kane’s achievement after so many near misses along the way.

With Bayern Munich’s title parade seeing the streets of the city, Kane’s social media post is both a celebration and vindication of a player whose quality was never in question, just his trophy cabinet. With raging ambitions for a Champions League and the imminent Euro 2024, this Bundesliga medal could maybe be the first of many major accolades that Kane shall adorn his name with in what may very well be the golden chapter for England’s record goal scorer. Reactions reinforce how collectively the football fraternity appreciates one of the true professionals of the game getting his day under the sun at last.
