Bayern Munich are just one win away from reclaiming the Bundesliga title — and all eyes will be on Saturday’s showdown against Mainz 05, as Harry Kane chases both silverware and scoring history.

The Bavarians, chasing their 34th league crown, will be confirmed champions if they beat Mainz and second-placed Bayer Leverkusen fail to overcome Augsburg. With four games left and a commanding eight-point lead, Bayern are primed to reassert their domestic dominance after Leverkusen’s unbeaten double last season.

For Harry Kane, it’s more than just a title. The England captain has been in devastating form with 24 league goals this season, and 60 in 60 Bundesliga matches overall. A win would hand him the first major club trophy of his career, having fallen short at Spurs and with England.

There’s sentiment on the line too. Thomas Müller, the club’s longest-serving star, is poised to make his 500th league appearance before bidding farewell this summer after 25 years in Munich colours — a feat matched by only three players in Bundesliga history with a single club.

Beyond the title race, the battle for Champions League spots is heating up, with Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig, Freiburg, Mainz and even Borussia Dortmund all jostling for Europe.

But this weekend, the spotlight is firmly on Bayern — and a chance to turn the page on last week's Champions League heartbreak with domestic triumph.
