Bundesliga: Kane Tastes First Title As Bayern Bid Farewell To Mueller

Bayern officially won the title on Sunday when defending champions Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 2-2 draw at Freiburg, but were presented with the Bundesliga shield in front of their home fans at full-time.

Dripping wet after being showered with beer by teammates, Kane said the title win was "an incredible feeling," and hoped it would be "the first of many".

"It's been lot of hard work, a lot of sacrifice in between, for moments like this -- to enjoy it with the team, enjoy it with the fans. I'm loving every minute," said the England captain.

Kane opened the scoring 31 minutes in, heading in a curling Michael Olise shot for his 25th goal of the league campaign.

With Bayern lacking their usual energy, Gladbach had several chances to equalise but were let down by poor finishing. Olise tapped in from close range to score a goal of his own in the final minute, sealing the occasion.

In his 750th game in all competitions for the club, Mueller -- who will leave Bayern after 25 years in the summer -- went close to scoring but had his shot saved in the 57th minute.

The 35-year-old was subbed off with seven minutes remaining, hugging his teammates as reserves and members of staff rushed to form a guard of honour. Mueller won a record 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions Leagues at Bayern.

Speaking with Sky Germany, Mueller said: "I can't really work it through in my mind at the moment," but said he was touched by "75,000 hearts which were beating just a little bit for me".

Kane said he was "proud" to play with Mueller, calling the veteran "a legend in football and a legend at this club".

Kane's long-time England and Tottenham teammate Eric Dier, who will join Monaco in the summer, was also given a send-off before the match.
