Freiburg 2-2 Bayer Leverkusen, Bundesliga: Kane 'Curse' Lifted As Bayern Clinch 34th Title

The Harry Kane “curse” has been lifted, as the English forward can finally celebrate his first career title after Bayern Munich became Bundesliga champions with a little help from Freiburg on Sunday (May 4). Freiburg drew with second-placed Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 to leave Bayern an unassailable eight points clear of the 2024 champions with two rounds of the German league remaining. The 31-year-old Kane had never won a title in a career of runner-up finishes and defeats in finals with Bayern, Tottenham and England, leading some to speak of a “curse” against a player considered one of the world라이브 바카라 best strikers. Leverkusen played without conviction in Freiburg, knowing that second place was already secured and that they only had a mathematical chance of defending their title with Bayern having a far superior goal difference.
