Harry Kane (33, Bayern Munich), holding the Bundesliga championship trophy, now turns his gaze toward the 'treble'.

On the 20th (Korean time), Bayern Munich secured a decisive 4-2 victory over Stuttgart in their home match at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, in the 30th round of the 2025-2026 German professional football Bundesliga.

With the addition of three points, Bayern Munich now sits at 79 points (25 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss), extending their lead over second-place Borussia Dortmund (64 points) to 15 points. This secures an early league title for Bayern Munich, regardless of the results in the remaining four matches.

This marks the club's record 35th Bundesliga title and a back-to-back championship following last season. After surrendering the title to Bayer Leverkusen in the 2023-2024 season, Bayern Munich has reclaimed the top spot for two consecutive seasons, reaffirming their status as the 'strongest in the Bundesliga'. The club now aims for the treble, targeting both the DFB-Pokal (cup competition) and the UEFA Champions League (UCL).

Leading striker Kane also drove the team to a decisive victory with his 31st league goal and 51st goal of the season. This tally is approaching the record for the most goals by a player in Europe's top five leagues since Erling Haaland (Manchester City) scored 52 goals in the 2022-2023 season.

According to sports specialist ESPN, Kane praised his teammates' strong mental fortitude and expressed his ambition to lift the trophy in the remaining competitions as well.

He stated, "We finished the league in a fantastic way. It is the result of the relentless spirit shown by my teammates from the first match to the last." He added, "There are still many goals to achieve in other competitions, and becoming champions again makes all our past efforts worthwhile."

Notably, this season has seen outstanding performances from the attacking trio of 'Kane-Michael Olise-Luis Diaz'. Together, they have combined for a total of 94 attacking points in the Bundesliga this season, setting a new all-time record for a trio in the league since statistics began being compiled in 1988.

Kane remarked, "The more I train and play with them, the stronger our bond becomes. The positive energy we feel whenever we step onto the pitch will be a great source of strength in the remaining matches," expressing strong confidence.

Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae, who started as a center-back, played the full 90 minutes and contributed to Bayern Munich's early title triumph. This championship holds special significance for Kim Min-jae personally. Having led Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years during the 2022-2023 season, Kim was unable to lift the league trophy in his debut season after moving to Munich. However, by winning the Meisterschale (Bundesliga championship trophy) for two consecutive seasons last year and this year, he has now tasted his third major league title.
