As the Bundesliga season approaches its climax, all eyes are on Bayern Munich's star striker Harry Kane, who is on the verge of securing his first title in Germany. Following a heartbreaking exit from the Champions League, Kane opened up in an exclusive interview, expressing his emotions and aspirations as the season winds down.
In a candid conversation with Absolut Fußball, Kane reflected on the disappointment of the Champions League defeat, where he was visibly emotional in front of the Bayern fans. "After such a loss, you always feel disappointed. We play football to make our fans proud, but also to make ourselves proud. Even though we gave everything, our energy and focus, it just didn’t work out for the final in our own stadium. I know the fans will always stand by us, and we will try to give it back to them. I am confident that we will come back stronger in the Champions League," he said, his sincerity resonating with supporters.
Looking ahead, Kane is focused on the Bundesliga title, which Bayern Munich is on the brink of clinching. They are set to face 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday, April 27, 2025, at 15:30. A win could see them crowned champions, provided Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not win their match against FC Augsburg simultaneously. Kane remarked, "Winning the championship would be fantastic! Maybe it would stop some people from talking about the fact that I haven't won a title yet (laughs). If we succeed after all the hard work and commitment we’ve put in this season, it would be a great celebration. But then the focus will shift to the next title because in football, it always goes on. Right now, though, it's all about the championship."
Kane also took the opportunity to praise his coach Vincent Kompany, highlighting the positive impact he has had on the team. "He really does us good. He doesn’t get carried away when things are going well, and he doesn’t get down when things aren’t. Looking at our performances this season, I’d say 90 percent have been very good. We control many games and play with high intensity; it’s just fun. I feel like we have built a team this season that knows how to implement what the coach dictates. Everyone gives 110 percent in every training session and every game. That says a lot about the coach. We are close to achieving one of our goals and winning the championship. But I know he will immediately focus on the Club World Cup after that and try to be successful there as well!"
Meanwhile, former German international Markus Babbel has stirred the pot regarding Kane's future. He has advised Liverpool to consider a move for the prolific striker should they decide to part ways with Darwin Nunez this summer. Babbel's comments come amid speculation about potential transfers as clubs begin to strategize for the upcoming window. He believes that Kane would be a valuable addition to any team, especially one looking to bolster their attacking options.
As the Bundesliga season unfolds, the stakes are high for Bayern Munich and Harry Kane. With the title within reach and the disappointment of the Champions League still fresh in their minds, the team must channel their energy into securing the domestic trophy. Fans are hopeful that Kane's goal-scoring prowess will lead them to glory, and his recent performances suggest he is more than capable of delivering when it matters most.
In conclusion, the upcoming match against Mainz will be pivotal for Bayern Munich, and for Kane, it represents a chance to not only secure his first trophy in Germany but also to silence critics regarding his titleless past. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as fans prepare to rally behind their team, hoping for a celebration that echoes through the streets of Munich.
