Why Bayern Munich star Harry Kane is unlikely to be on the pitch when he finally wins first trophy of his career

Harry Kane's long, painful wait for a first career -trophy is almost over … but he might have to celebrate it from the sidelines.

The striker of Bayern Munich picked up a suspension of one match after he was booked during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Mainz, which means that he is banned for the potential Bundesliga-Titleklincher of next weekend against RB Leipzig.

Kane was shown a yellow card for holding the ball after he had committed an error, although he was apparently not certain that he was even punished in the first place.

It was his fifth caution of the campaign, which caused an automatic ban at the worst possible moment.

The suspension is a cruel turn of fate for Kane, who has become one of the most controversial almost men of football when it comes to silverware.

After having spent almost two decades in Tottenham Hotspur without lifting a trophy, his move to Germany seemed to guarantee in the summer of 2023 to guarantee a change of fortune, with Bayern 10 consecutive Bundesliga titles gaining titles.

Bayern was then surprising at the title last season by Bayer Leverkusen, who went through the entire league campaign without losing.

But Bayern is now on top of the Bundesliga and closes another title.

They are eight points free from Leverkusen with three more games, which means that the victory over RB Leipzig would see them again next weekend to re -awarded champions and Kane to secure the first big trophy of his career.

However, the captain of England will not be able to help his team over the line.

Instead, he will have to look from the stands while his teammates try to complete the job without finishing him.

Kane admitted his frustration after the Mainz competition and told reporters: 'Crazy, Crazy Decision! It is a kind of my story that I will miss the Leipzig game.

“But no worries, I will celebrate more than anyone else.”

Despite missing the decisive match, few Kane's impact on Bayern's success would deny this season.

In 27 Starts and two replacement performances in the Bundesliga, the captain of England scored 24 goals and offered seven assists.
