Harry Kane has taken aim at his trophy critics,
with the Bundesliga title-winning Bayern Munich star wondering
“what people talk about now”.
The England captain found himself at the centre of a tiresome debate
after seeing major silverware elude him with club and country.
He picked up countless individual accolades, breaking goalscoring
records in the process, but never landed major silverware.
That curse has been broken in 2025, with Kane now a champion in German
football, with wild celebrations being enjoyed by the prolific 31-year-old
striker. He is understandably delighted to have got his hands on a
first winners’ medal.
Kane has told The Times: “I’m very aware of the fact that I hadn’t won
[a trophy]. I put myself under more pressure than anyone else could put
me under. As the years go by you start to think: ‘Is it going to happen?’
“I just credit my resilience because of the things I’ve had to
deal with in my career; you just keep going and keep pushing yourself
and good things will come and this is definitely one of those.”
Kane is a big golf fan and took inspiration from seeing Rory McIlroy
win The Masters earlier this year, with the Northern Irishman saying
on the back of that success, which saw him complete the career Grand Slam
of major titles: “What are we all going to talk about next year?”
Kane added while echoing those sentiments: “Yeah, we’ll see what people
talk about now. I’m sure they’ll find something and I’ll take it in my
stride. I’m not different to what I was before I won.
“It was something that was missing from my resume.
I’d achieved a lot of big things in my career from an
individual point of view and this is one of those things
I obviously wanted to achieve, a team title, a league title.
