When Harry Kane could finally win first major trophy as Bayern Munich close in on Bundesliga title

England captain Harry Kane is potentially within three games of the first major trophy of his career.

Here, the PA news agency looks at when Bayern Munich could wrap up the Bundesliga title – as well as the season’s first ups and downs in the English league.

Kane’s wait nearly over?
For all Kane’s individual goalscoring accolades, he has yet to win a major team honour in his 15-year career.

He finished runner-up at both Euro 2020 and 2024 with England and lost three major finals with Tottenham, who also finished as Premier League runners-up in 2016-17 despite Kane’s 29 goals.

After his move to Germany last season, Bayern were beaten to the title by Bayer Leverkusen – the first time in over a decade they had not finished top of the table.

They are poised to get revenge this season, though, leading by six points with seven games remaining.

Five wins would be enough clinch the title, barring a perfect finish for Leverkusen and a seismic goal difference swing of 25.

The earliest Bayern could secure the trophy would be Monday, April 20, should they beat Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund and Heidenheim while Leverkusen take no more than two points from their own meeting with Heidenheim and subsequent fixtures against Union Berlin and St Pauli.

Bayern also remain in the Champions League, facing Inter Milan in the quarter-finals.

Kane’s goal in Saturday’s win against St. Pauli also meant he has scored against all 19 opponents he has faced in the Bundesliga – as he did in the Premier League with Spurs, against 32 different clubs.
