  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Their prolific No.9 played a key role in restoring domestic dominance, with Kane hitting 26 goals in the Bundesliga and 41 across all competitions. He finished as top scorer in the German top-flight for the second year in a row.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Those efforts were not enough to secure him a POTS crown, with that award going to former Crystal Palace star Michael Olise at the end of his debut campaign at the Allianz Arena. The France international registered 17 goals and 16 assists through 48 appearances in 2024-25.

  Olise picked up 44.8 per cent of the vote from Bayern fans, with Thomas Muller (18.7%) taking second and Kane (9.4%) filling the final spot on the podium.

• WHAT KOMPANY SAID

  Bayern boss Vincent Kompany has told Bayern’s of Olise: “We signed Michael and had a lot of hope. But it's not always the case that a player integrates so quickly.

  “I see his hunger every day. He's a really hard worker. That's the basis, along with his talent. Nobody doubts that he can make the difference. And we absolutely need that.”
