"I think for them it’s maybe a once-in-a-lifetime experience," The England skipper said earlier this year. 

"Not all of [those] fans are able to travel here to Germany or to Europe to come and watch us play, so it might be their only opportunity in their lifetime that they get to see us. So, it’ll be special for them. 

"We obviously hope we can make that experience as good as possible by winning and just making it enjoyable and, also, getting to meet some of the fans. I’m sure there’ll be a chance to see some of the fans after the game or before the camps.

"And, like I said, for those fans, it’s really important because they don’t know how long it’ll be before we’re back there.    

Kane was once again the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season after topping the goal charts in 2023-24 and he secured his first major trophy as Bayern ran away with the league title. The striker is loving life in Germany right now and looking to keep the success rolling over into the summertime. 

Adding: "Obviously, I’ve only been here for 18 months, but I feel like it’s been a huge part of my life already. The fan base has really been incredible for me and really taken me in, almost as one of their own, and I really appreciate that.

"Playing for a club like Bayern Munich, the pressure is high, every game is intense, and a lot of teams want to beat Bayern Munich to have that on their CV, so you have to be prepared at every moment.

"Yeah, I’m loving it. I’m enjoying this season with the team and with the coach. We’re playing some really good football, and that’s always a joy to be a part of, as well."
