England captain Harry Kane scored a second-half hat-trick as Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart in the German Cup final to complete a league and cup double.
After a goalless first half at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Kane stooped to head home Michael Olise’s back-post cross to put Vincent Kompany’s side in front in the 55th minute.
The former Tottenham striker added his second 10 minutes from time, spinning as he received Luis Diaz’s pass before slotting home.
He then stepped up to convert a stoppage-time penalty to seal the win and his second hat-trick in as many games.
Kane’s cup-winning goals cap a remarkable season with Bayern in which he finishes with an astonishing 61 goals in 51 games.
After Bayern secured the Bundesliga title for the second season running earlier in May and the German Supercup last August, Kane has now won four trophies since joining the German giants in the summer of 2023.
What proved to be a comfortable win over Sebastian Hoeness’ Stuttgart gives Bayern their 21st German Cup win, and their first since 2019-20.
