Bayern Munich's Kane says 1st trophy 'worth the wait'

Harry Kane said his first team title was "worth the wait," after his league-winning Bayern Munich side were presented with the Bundesliga shield on Saturday.

Champions heading into the game, Bayern beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-0 at home, with Kane scoring the opener with a header after 31 minutes, his 25th league goal of the season. 

Drenched with beer after being chased and doused by teammates on the Allianz Arena pitch, Kane told Sky Germany the trophy was "a long time coming."

"It's cold, but there's going to be a few more today for sure," a soaked Kane told reporters. 

The 31-year-old had lost six finals in his career -- three with former club Tottenham, two with England and one with Bayern -- as well as a second-placed league finish with Spurs.

The England captain finally tasted team success last Sunday, when chasers Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 at Freiburg. 

Kane said the title win was "an incredible feeling... it's worth the wait".

"It's been a 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."

The forward said "we're going to enjoy this for sure, but then hopefully this is just the first of many. 

"We have a great team, a great coach and yeah, we feel like we're building, so we're looking forward to the challenge."

Kane also praised long-time England teammate Eric Dier, who will leave Bayern in the summer. The title win was also Dier's first of his career.
