Harry Kane makes long-term Bayern Munich vow after missing out on Bundesliga title

Harry Kane makes long-term Bayern Munich vow after missing out on Bundesliga title

Harry Kane has vowed to stay at Bayern Munich for “many years” despite missing out on the Bundesliga title during his first season with the club.

The England captain signed a four-year contract in August but was unable to lift a first League title after Bayer Leverkusen broke Bayern’s 11-year stranglehold on the title.

Still, former Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou insisted Kane did not leave his boyhood club simply to win trophies.

Before a ball was kicked this season, the Bavarian giants looked as good a bet as any team in Europe to lift silverware come the end of the campaign – such was their dominance in Germany.

However, they missed out on the Bundesliga and the DfB Pokal, leaving only the Champions League as a potential avenue for success.

Kane scored a penalty during Tuesday night’s fascinating 2-2 semi-final against Real Madrid as Thomas Tuchel’s side prepare to head to the Spanish capital next week.

"Everything we're fighting for this year is in this competition," Kane told reporters. "It'll be tough. We have to go (to the Bernabeu for the second leg) with full belief.

"These are the big games. The atmosphere was incredible. This is exactly why I came here. I want to be playing in these big games, these big moments.

"I'm here for many years. It's not a one-off year I'm here for. Of course at the start of the season the expectation was to win trophies. The Champions League is the biggest one. If we can somehow get our hands on that one, it would be an amazing season."
