Celebration on Franz Beckenbauer Street
No More Heartbreak for Harry: Bayern Munich’s 34th Title
Harry Kane’s years of heartbreak have finally ended as Bayern Munich secured their 34th Bundesliga title following Bayer Leverkusen’s draw against Freiburg.
According to reports, today at No. 5 Franz Beckenbauer Street—the new official address of Bayern Munich, recently renamed in honor of the club’s late legend—the entire team and coaching staff gathered to watch Freiburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen on TV. Harry Kane, in particular, was visibly anxious. The match, held at Freiburg’s home ground, could have determined Bayern’s championship fate.
Had Leverkusen won, Bayern’s title celebrations would have been postponed to next week. However, Xabi Alonso’s team settled for a 2-2 draw, allowing Bayern Munich to celebrate their 34th title. This victory holds special significance for Harry Kane. The England superstar, after years of brilliance on the pitch, had never tasted the joy of lifting a major trophy—until now. Munich finally gifted him this unforgettable moment. Kane immediately posted an emotional Instagram story, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
A Simple Yet Powerful Post: Kane used a trophy sticker on a black background. It was clear he didn’t have time for an elaborate design—he just wanted to send a quick message to his critics: “Here’s my trophy! What do you have to say now?”
Kane and his teammates lounged on the couches at the club’s headquarters, celebrating their hard-earned title. Before the match, Bayern Munich’s official Twitter account posted a humorous tweet featuring SpongeBob SquarePants sitting in front of a TV with popcorn. The Bavarians watched all 90 minutes of the Leverkusen-Freiburg match on TV, and when the final whistle blew, they erupted in celebration.
Yesterday, when Bayern Munich secured a 3-2 away win against RB Leipzig, Munich was ready to celebrate. Even Kane, who was suspended, received special permission from the Bundesliga to join his teammates on the pitch. He wanted to run onto the field and celebrate, but Leipzig’s last-minute goal ruined the plans. Fate had other ideas—Kane would celebrate his first trophy a day later, in Munich, in front of a TV screen.
Shortly after Bayern’s title was confirmed, Bild reported that the players, along with Vincent Kompany, were invited to an upscale restaurant near the club’s headquarters. Kane and Kompany joined the rest of the squad 10 minutes after the Leverkusen match began. When Freiburg scored the first goal, cheers from the Bayern players could be heard.
Several Bayern players had expressed hope yesterday that Leverkusen would beat Freiburg. Joshua Kimmich explained why: “I hope Leverkusen wins. Celebrating a title in front of the TV isn’t the same.” Perhaps Kimmich and Bayern’s veteran players, who’ve won multiple titles, didn’t mind waiting another week. But Kane clearly felt differently—he wanted to fulfill his lifelong dream as soon as possible, even if it meant celebrating in front of a screen. “When we celebrate in front of the fans next week, the sooner the better,” he might have thought.
Yesterday, Bayern’s management revealed they had chartered a private jet to take the team directly to Ibiza for a title celebration. However, after the draw, the flight was canceled, and the team returned to Munich. Tonight, Bayern’s stars are celebrating at Munich’s upscale Kefir restaurant. Many are eagerly awaiting images from the party, especially to see Harry Kane’s reactions—a superstar who has finally lifted his first major trophy.
