Opta: "Champion Drought" is broken, Kane finally clears himself

May 5th News Opta website published a long article reviewing Kane's journey to win his first championship, believing that Kane has finally made his name clear.

Opta's article read:

Kane won the first championship trophy in his career, and Bayern, with the help of Freiburg, secured the Bundesliga championship in the 2024-2025 season in advance. Bayern was expected to win the championship on Saturday. They led their opponents 3-2 near the end of the game against Leipzig, but Leipzig player Polson tied the score 3-3 with a goal in stoppage time, which means Bayern still needs to continue waiting. Kane did not participate in the Saturday game due to accumulated yellow cards. In fact, after he put in so much effort but achieved nothing in his career, it seems appropriate to ask others to help him complete the task this time.

This time, Kane has been a great player not only in England, but also in Europe, but he has not received any honors that match his abilities, both in the club and the national team. In the summer of 2023, Kane made the decision to transfer to Bayern, and although this was a bit surprising at the time, Kane eventually succeeded, no matter how his future career progressed, Kane could say at least "I have won the trophy" when he retired.

Kane had been playing for Tottenham for many years before transferring to Bayern, and he had always hoped that he would succeed there, but when he turned 29 (2023), Tottenham had only reached the top four in the previous four seasons, Kane's hopes were becoming more and more like a daydream. Kane said in a farewell video to Tottenham fans in August 2023: "I think it's time to leave now. This is not goodbye, because no one can tell the future, but I still have to thank everyone, there will be a period of time." Kane's words seem to imply that he is reluctant to leave, but as it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve his ambitions in Tottenham, it makes sense to transfer to another team that can win the championship.

At that time, Kane chose to join Bayern. In the eyes of the outside world, his success was almost certain. Kane's motivation was obvious. The players went to Bayern to win, and Bayern players often won the championship. When Kane joined Bayern, Bayern had already won the Bundesliga championship for a record 11 consecutive seasons. In fact, Bayern's success was so frequent that Kane had the chance to win his first championship trophy in Bayern's debut, but Bayern lost to Leipzig in the German Super Cup game. And this was just the beginning of Bayern and Kane's nightmare. In the end, they all lost all four last season and did not win any championships, but few people blame Kane for this. After all, he scored 36 goals in his first season in the Bundesliga, a new record in the Bundesliga. Kane's "champion drought" continues, and then the England team he represented lost to Spain in the 2024 European Cup final.

Leverkusen broke Bayern's monopoly and won the Bundesliga championship last season. Although Bayern's winning of the Bundesliga in the 24-25 season was not as smooth as Leverkusen in the 23-24 season, Kompany's team has been at the top of the list since the third round and locked the championship two rounds ahead of schedule. Kane has scored 24 goals in the Bundesliga this season and is expected to be the first player in Bundesliga history to win the Best Scorer Award in its first two seasons. The

League championship is a good start, and although it has been a long wait, the joy of victory will be sweeter because of the wait, especially when Kane is watered by his teammates’ beer. The "champion drought" was broken, and Kane finally made his name clear.
