A guard of honor for Harry Kane... what's the story?

Bayern Munich celebrated their English star Harry Kane at the Allianz Arena before their German Cup match against Magdeburg, following his Ballon d'Or win. The celebrations, which included both players and fans, saw Kane receive a special welcome from his teammates, who formed a guard of honor.

Kane expressed his gratitude for the support he received from the club's fans, emphasizing that the award was the result of a collective effort involving the players, coaching staff, and supporters. In a message posted on Bayern's X platform, he stressed that the award did not belong to him alone, but represented the club and everyone who contributed to this achievement. The England captain stressed that the support of the fans and their attendance at the matches were among the factors that helped him achieve this success, in a message that reflected his appreciation for the role of Bayern supporters in his career.
