Long time coming – Harry Kane savours first trophy as Bayern Munich celebrate

Harry Kane admitted “it’s been a long time coming” as he savoured the “sweet” feeling of claiming the first silverware of his career following Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga title success.

Bayern were crowned German champions on Sunday after second-placed Bayer Leverkusen could only draw 2-2 at Freiburg.

England captain Kane appeared bleary-eyed and sounded hoarse on Monday as he reflected on the celebrations.

“What a night last night, what a celebration with the players, with the staff – I’m sure everyone’s feeling it a little bit this morning,” he said in a video posted on Instagram.

“But we’re here and I feel amazing. It’s been a long time coming.

“Obviously a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, and it just feels sweet to win the title and the first one of my career.”

With Kane forced to watch from the stands due to a one-match ban, Bayern were seconds away from wrapping up the title on Saturday before conceding an added-time equaliser in a 3-3 draw at RB Leipzig. Eric Dier, another ex-Spurs man winning his first major trophy, scored Bayern’s first goal.

Defending champions Leverkusen, managed by Xabi Alonso, needed to win each of their remaining three games to stay in contention.

We are the Champions!!
