“Curse” was canceled.
Harry Kane can finally celebrate his first career title after Bayern Munich became a Bundesliga champion with little help on Sunday.
Freiburg drew with the second placement of Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 to leave Bayern the unsurpassed eight points from 2024 champion with two wheels of the German league remaining.
Kane has never received a title in career of running goals and individual best shooters with Tottenham and England, which has led some to talk about a “curse” against a player considered one of the best attackers in the world.
Kane was ready to celebrate Saturday when Bayern looked set to win 3-2 in Leipzig. But Yussuf Poulsen coped with the last kick for Leipzig to draw 3-3 and postpone Bayern’s party for at least one day.
“Next week, Harry!” Teammate Thomas Mller wrote on Instagram.
He didn’t have to wait so long.
Leverkusen played in Freiburg without conviction, because he knew that the second place was already secured and that she had only a mathematical chance to defend his title when Bayern had a much better difference in the goals.
Maximilian Eggestein fired the home team before the break and his own goal by Piero Hincapie after Freiburg firmly checked.
Leverkusen had to wait until 82 minutes before Florian Wirtz pulled one back with the first shot of his team to the target. Jonathan move dealt with the next time to stop, but for the new champion of the league did not change it.
It is Bayern’s record 34. The German Championship, including the first for the club in 1932. Everyone else came after the Bundesliga formation in 1963.
The Champions League fighting is warming up
Freiburg’s draw kept fourth in the final place to qualify the Champions League, just a point before Borussia Dortmund and two in front of Leipzig.
Only the first four teams qualify for the European Competition Premier Club.
Previously, Holstein Kiel has strengthened his hopes that he is avoiding a drop of 3-1 in Augsburg. He moved Kiel one point behind Heidenheim, who occupies a play -off descent. Kiel Next plays Freiburg, then Dortmund.
Eintracht Frankfurt played in Mainz later on Sunday.
