Football – Bayern Munich will secure the Bundesliga title tomorrow with a win over top four hopefuls Mainz 05 if rivals and reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen fail to beat Augsburg.
The Bavarians, who last year saw Leverkusen clinch a league and Cup double undefeated, are eager to seal their 34th German league crown and reestablish their domestic dominance. It would also help put last week’s bitter Champions League quarter-final exit to Inter Milan behind them.
For 31-year-old forward Harry Kane, who has scored 60 goals in his 60 Bundesliga matches for Bayern so far, it would be the first major club trophy of his career, having failed to lift any silverware with Tottenham Hotspur or England.
With 24 league goals so far, Kane is also on track to become the first player to win the top scorer title in both of his first two Bundesliga seasons.
Bayern are on 72 points with four matches left to play, and with Leverkusen second on 64. For veteran Thomas Mueller, who will be leaving at the end of the season after 25 years, it could be the 500th league game for Bayern.
