Kane finally has a title in his career. |
Modern football measures greatness by trophies. It is ironic that Harry Kane - one of the best strikers of his generation - has had to endure the label of "great without trophies" for a decade.
But that story is over. Winning the 2024/25 Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich is not only the first title of Kane's career, but also a strong statement of perseverance and the ability to overcome adversity.
Scars make heroes
Kane's journey is a testament to the saying "failure is the mother of success". Losing the Champions League final with Tottenham to Liverpool. Missing the chance to win the Euro title with England. Or seeing Tottenham Hotspur sack manager Jose Mourinho right before the Carabao Cup final - all are deep wounds in Kane's career.
Those shocks would have broken many other players, but not Kane. The English striker did not shrink back, on the contrary, each defeat became the driving force that pushed him forward. His decision to move to Bayern Munich - a bold step away from the safety of the Premier League - is a testament to that steely spirit.
When Kane moved to Bayern in the summer of 2023, many were skeptical about his ability to adapt to his new environment. They were wrong. Kane not only adapted, he dominated. 36 Bundesliga goals in his first season and a record as the first foreigner to score against every team in the league - those telling numbers proved that Kane was not only an excellent striker but also a true warrior.

Bayern gave Kane the chance to prove himself, and he lived up to that trust. However, the 31-year-old striker had to wait until his second season with Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga - a worthy reward for a player who has spent his entire career trying to reach the top. But for Kane, this is just the beginning.
The teacher's mark and the journey of self-improvement
Behind Kane's success are the hands of talented teachers. From Dave Bricknell - who guided Kane's first steps when he was a 6-year-old boy at Ridgeway Rovers, to Bradley Allen - who honed his finishing skills at Tottenham's youth team.
In particular, Antonio Conte is the one who understands Kane's potential best when he commented that he deserves major titles. It was Conte who created the conditions for Kane to score 30 goals in his final season at Tottenham, paving the way for a leap to Bayern Munich.
But the most impressive thing about Kane is not his natural talent, but his ability to constantly improve himself. From a skinny boy who was considered to "lack pace" to a complete striker who can create like a midfielder, Kane is the embodiment of perseverance and a desire to improve.
Kane still has a lot of value. |
Despite breaking the "no title" curse, Kane still has a bigger dream: the Champions League. The prestigious elephant ear cup is still the ultimate goal that he has longed for since childhood. And for Bayern Munich - one of the powers of European football - that dream is no longer far away.
Kane is in his 30s, but like wine, he gets better with age. With his peak form and increasingly perfect tactical thinking, no one dares to affirm that Kane will not be able to lift the Champions League in the near future.
From Arsenal reject to Tottenham and England record goalscorer, Kane's story is a testament to the power of belief and perseverance. He is not only a great player on the pitch but also a shining example off it.
Rejecting attractive offers from Manchester City to stay with Tottenham for many years, then finally choosing to leave because of his thirst for titles - Kane has always been loyal to himself and the values he pursues.
With the Bundesliga title in hand, Kane has erased the biggest question mark over his career. But he is not done yet. In a world of football where success is measured by trophies, Kane is writing his own story - the story of a warrior who never gave up on his dream.
