Harry Kane emphasizes that Bayern Munich still has “plenty to fight for” this season after clinching the Bundesliga title with a 4-2 victory over Stuttgart on Sunday.
The England international came on as a substitute at half-time, scoring his 31st goal of the season and boosting his total to 51 across all competitions for Bayern, marking the highest tally by a player in a top-five league since Erling Haaland achieved 52 in 2022-23.
Following their 13th title in 14 seasons, a thrilled Kane shared his goals for the rest of the campaign.
“It’s been a remarkable season for us to conclude the league in this manner and with the goals we’ve scored,” Kane said.
“The mentality of the team has been commendable; we’ve consistently pushed ourselves from the first match to the last.”
“We still have a lot to compete for in other tournaments, but the commitment and teamwork make this championship worth celebrating again.”
Kane, along with Michael Olise and Luis Díaz, boasts a combined total of 94 goal contributions this season — the highest for any trio on record in the Bundesliga since 1988.

Kane remarked on the trio’s synergy: “It’s something special; our bond strengthens with every game and training session we have together.”
“We feel great every time we’re on the pitch, and there’s still much at stake.”
Two additional trophies are within reach for Vincent Kompany’s squad, with a semifinal matchup against Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup next, in addition to a highly anticipated clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinals.
Kompany, who has now won Bayern’s 34th and 35th Bundesliga titles, remarked on the chance to continue collecting trophies.
“The statistics look great, but our journey isn’t finished yet,” Kompany stated.
“We will keep pushing forward. It’s a matter of mentality; we give 100% regardless of whether it’s pre-season or a competitive match, and I’m not done yet.”
“The coming weeks are crucial. We’re eager but also aware of the challenges ahead. Our belief is strong, and that remains invaluable in football.”
