Harry Kane finally broke his long-standing silverware drought as Bayern Munich officially lifted the Bundesliga trophy following a 2-0 home win over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday.

The England captain, who scored the opening goal with a trademark header in the 31st minute, capped off a personal milestone season by netting his 25th league goal.

Already confirmed as champions heading into the fixture, Bayern's victory was more of a celebration than a contest, and Kane was front and centre-both in terms of performance and the post-match festivities. Chased around the pitch by his teammates and doused in traditional celebratory beer, the 31-year-old took it all in with a wide smile.

Speaking to Sky Germany, Kane said, "It's cold, but there's going to be a few more today for sure." He acknowledged the magnitude of the moment, calling the title "a long time coming."

Kane's journey to this point hasn't been short of near-misses. Over his illustrious career, he's lost six finals-three with Tottenham Hotspur, two with England, and one earlier this season with Bayern. He also experienced a runner-up finish in the Premier League with Spurs. That history of heartbreak made this moment all the sweeter.

Reflecting on his first major club title, Kane said, "It was a weight on the shoulders, so it was nice to have that lifted - and now we can enjoy it." He described the triumph as "an incredible feeling... it's worth the wait."

"It's been a lot of hard work, a lot of sacrifice in between, for moments like this - to enjoy it with the team, enjoy it with the fans. I'm loving every minute," Kane added.

Looking ahead, the England striker is hopeful this is just the beginning of a golden chapter at Bayern. "We're going to enjoy this for sure, but then hopefully this is just the first of many," he said. "We have a great team, a great coach, and yeah, we feel like we're building, so we're looking forward to the challenge."

Kane also gave a special mention to Eric Dier, his long-time England and Spurs teammate, who is set to leave Bayern this summer. Like Kane, Dier too celebrated his first major trophy with the Bundesliga win.

Turning his thoughts to former club Tottenham Hotspur, who are preparing for a UEFA Europa League final showdown with Manchester United, Kane expressed his support: "It's been a tough season but to reach the Europa League final is a great achievement," he said.

"It's no easy feat to beat the teams that they've beat, so full credit to them. I'll be watching and hoping they can win, and it could be a good month for a lot of Spurs fans, because I know a lot of them have reached out to me and they're happy to see me lift this title. And of course I think we'd all be happy to see Spurs win that in a couple of weeks."

From years of waiting to moments of joy, Kane's Bundesliga success marks a significant personal and professional milestone. As he sets his sights on future glories, the long wait is finally over for one of football's most prolific and admired forwards.
