Harry Kane joined his Bayern Munich teammates for the club's annual celebration of the world-famous German beer festival, Oktoberfest. The England captain, alongside his wife Kate, was seen participating in the festivities for the fourth consecutive year, both dressed in traditional German attire.
Kane donned lederhosen, while Kate opted for a dirndl in the colors of Bayern Munich. This year's celebration held extra significance for Kane, who recently reached a milestone of 100 goals for Bayern Munich in just 98 games. He scored his 100th and 101st goals for the club in their recent 7-0 victory over Union Berlin.
The entire Bayern squad, including Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala, attended the event. Manager Vincent Kompany and his wife Carla were also present, observing the players as they engaged in drinking, dancing, and enjoying the festival. New Bayern player Luis Diaz and his wife Geraldine Ponce were also in attendance, as was emerging talent Lennart Karl, who experienced Oktoberfest for the first time.
Veterans like Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich, who have attended the festival multiple times, were seen raising steins with their teammates. The annual trip to Oktoberfest is a long-standing tradition for Bayern Munich, providing players and their families an opportunity to relax outside of football commitments.
Kane expressed his enjoyment of the tradition via social media, stating, 'Love the Oktoberfest tradition.' Bayern Munich also shared a video on X of Kane pouring his own beer to mark the festival's commencement.
Despite transfer rumors linking Kane to clubs like Barcelona or Saudi Arabian teams, he is reportedly in contract extension talks with Bayern. Teammate Luis Diaz has publicly endorsed Kane as a strong candidate for the upcoming Ballon d'Or award, citing his consistent performance and impressive season.
Kane himself reflected on his successful last season, noting the significant number of goals scored for both Bayern and England, and winning multiple trophies. He acknowledged the goal of being recognized as the world's best player and mentioned other top contenders for the Ballon d'Or, including Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, Rodri, and Michael Olise, highlighting the competitive field for the award.
