Harry Kane might miss out on the Bundesliga but one trophy looks in the bag - and it delights Arsenal fans.
Bayern Munich are trailing Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga by five points after a 3-0 defeat to Xabi Alonso's men on Saturday.

It has raised fears that the German giants could miss out on the league title for the first time in 12 years.
It would be rotten luck for Kane, who left Tottenham last summer in search of trophies and joined a club where success is almost inevitable.
But there is now a strong chance that Bayern, and Kane, will go trophyless this year having already crashed out of the DFB-Pokal Cup and the Champions League competition looking ferociously difficult.
It would leave a sour taste in Kane's mouth going another season without any silverware - but there is one personal trophy he looks certain to win.
In what's been a barnstorming campaign to date in Germany, the 30-year-old has scored 24 times in 21 appearances in the Bundesliga.
It has put him on course to bag the Torjagerkanone Award, the German version of the Golden Boot.
He is eight ahead of the next highest goalscorer, Serhou Guirassy at Stuttgart, who has 17 goals to his name this season.
However, if he wins the accolade, Kane might not be able to believe it as the trophy is shaped like a cannon - the emblem of Tottenham's fierce rivals Arsenal.

Safe to say, Arsenal fans have been having a field day as they look to remind their north London neighbours of Kane's history with the Gunners.
One fan said on social media site X: "So, Harry Kane could finish this season as the Bundesliga’s top scorer, but still without a championship trophy to his name… And the funniest part - Have you seen what the award for being top scorer in Germany actually looks like?"

Another replied: "He's a Gooner under his skin."
And this fan said: "Kane's always wanted to be a Gooner."

This fan posted with laughing emojis: "You are kidding me."
While a fourth wrote: "He always wanted to be a Gunner."
Kane infamously posed in an Arsenal shirt as a kid before he went on to join Tottenham and become the club's highest ever goalscorer.
The Bayern no.9 even spent time in the Gunners academy, being released in 2002 at the age of nine, something then-manager Arsene Wenger has since admitted he regretted.
“I didn’t know, I read it in the papers,” Wenger said in 2015. “I found it quite funny, you know, and you are always a bit angry as well because I asked: ‘Why did he go?’ But at that age, boys can move here and there.”
