When Harry Kane left Tottenham Hotspur to seek new pastures at Bayern Munich, it seemed a formality that he would win the first trophy of his career.
On a personal level, Kane is enjoying a season with his new club, scoring 33 goals in 33 appearances under new boss Thomas Tuchel.
But Bayern continue to falter in the Bundesliga title race this year and have suffered defeats in the second round of the DFB Pokal and the final of the DFL Super Cup this season.
The way Kane can win a trophy with his new club this year is if Bayern manage to hold on to their last 16 wins and win the Champions League for the first time since 2019/20.
Returning to club football, Kane made his debut for the Bavarians in the DFL Super Cup final against RB Leipzig earlier this season.
Bayern were the clear favourites for the clash, but Kane only prevailed when they were 2-0 up and could not orchestrate the comeback.
If Leverkusen win the DFB Cup and the Bundesliga name this season, Bayern will most likely take part in next season’s DFL Super Cup, which will serve as the backdrop for the new Bundesliga campaign.
If Munich fail and England fail to deliver on their promise on the foreign stage, then the 5/2 odds of the DFL Super Cup being the first trophy wielded by Bayern’s number nine will prove to be smart value.
One festival where Bayern have triumphed over adversity is this year’s Champions League.
They lost 1-0 after the first leg against Lazio in the round of 16, but a 3-0 deficit in the second leg propelled them into the quarterfinals.
Given the remainder of the season, the proposed 4/1 for the Champions League, which will be Kane’s first trophy, turns out to be something to watch.
It would be ten things for Xabi Alonso’s team, but Bayern have a habit of starting at the back to win the league title.
If Tuchel manages to pull off the best run until the end of the season, then Kane’s existing 6-1 chances of winning his first Bundesliga trophy could quickly diminish.
Bayern edged third-tier Saarbrücken in this year’s DFB Pokal, justifying the 7/1 odds for this to be Kane’s first trophy.
The DFB Pokal final will take place a week after the end of the Bundesliga season, which means that they will be able to win this trophy in more than a year at the earliest.
Although it turns out that Kane enjoys life in Germany, returning to England is never out of the question.
Bad hiring this summer and it’s possible that the leader will return to his home country. Kane went 8-1 to win the Carabao Cup for the first time in his career.
Kane played a total of 11 semi-finals and finals for Spurs, scoring just two goals and helping without winning any trophies.
Another festival singled out as an underdog for being Kane’s first triumph is the FA Cup, he never reached the final with Tottenham.
Kane reached the semi-finals of the festival in successive seasons with Spurs in 2016/17 and 2017/18, but failed to do so.
The oldest festival in English football is known for its difficulty to win and that is why it can be enjoyed with the longest value of 10/1.
