Harry Kane has a massive chance to get one step closer to his first ever trophy when Bayern Munich take on Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. The England captain has famously never won a bloody thing in his career, but now he's got a golden opportunity to get his hands on a league title.
Kane's previous failures
Kane missed out on every single chance of glory during his first season with Bayern last campaign after his move from Tottenham. His team were beaten in the German Super Cup final before missing out on the Bundesliga title to the unbeaten champions Leverkusen – and then he came runners-up at Euro 2024 with England. What a loser!
The current situation
However, Bayern can extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points with just 12 games left by beating their closest challengers Leverkusen. Vincent Kompany's side have won seven straight Bundesliga games since a shock defeat to Mainz before the Germany winter break. Xabi Alonso's champions are the only team with a realistic hope of catching Bayern, and a win cuts the gap to five points.
The build-up
Bayern prepared for the top-of-the-table clash with a vital 2-1 Champions League playoff away win over Celtic. Meanwhile, Leverkusen had a nice relaxing week off after qualifying inside the top eight during the league phase of the competition. Lazy bastards!
What's at stake?
This is a massive game for both teams, but especially for Kane. If Bayern win, he'll be one step closer to finally winning a trophy. If they lose, he'll be branded a failure once again. No pressure, mate!
In conclusion, this is a huge match for both teams, but especially for Harry Kane. He's never won a trophy in his career, and this could be his best chance yet. But if he fails, he'll be branded a loser once again. The pressure is on, and we can't wait to see if he crumbles under it. Come on, you muppet!
