For years, Harry Kane’s career has been defined by goals, records and a conspicuous absence of silverware. That narrative is finally set to change, but in a way only Kane could script.

Bayern Munich is on the verge of reclaiming the Bundesliga title, yet its star striker will be watching from the sidelines.

Following a 3–0 victory over Mainz on Saturday, Bayern sits eight points clear at the top of the table on 75 points with three matches remaining. A win against RB Leipzig on May 3 would mathematically secure the title. However, Kane will be unavailable after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, triggering a one-game suspension.
