Eric Dier has opened up about what it felt like to win the Bundesliga alongside his long-time friend and former Tottenham teammate Harry Kane, describing the experience as one that still gives him โgoosebumpsโ whenever he looks back on it.
For both players, the move from North London to Bavaria represented not just a career shift but also an opportunity to finally get their hands on silverware after years of near misses in England. Kane, who left Tottenham in the summer of 2023 to join Bayern Munich, was soon followed by Dier in January 2024, reuniting the pair in Germany. Together, they helped Bayern clinch yet another Bundesliga title, a triumph that meant even more because of the journey they had shared since their early days at Spurs.
Speaking about that historic moment, Dier admitted that lifting the trophy with Kane was surreal. โEven now, it gives me goosebumps. We had been through so much together at Tottenhamโfinals lost, tough seasons, incredible highs and painful lows. To finally celebrate a league title, standing side by side in Bayern colors, was something very special,โ he reflected.
For Kane, the move to Bayern was about more than personal success; it was a chance to prove himself on a new stage. He immediately became a goal machine in the Bundesliga, breaking records and playing a pivotal role in Bayernโs attacking force. Dier, meanwhile, slotted into the defense and provided stability when the team needed it most. Their chemistry, built over years of playing together in England, translated seamlessly to Germany.
Fans of both Tottenham and Bayern could sense the emotion in that moment. For Spurs supporters, it was bittersweet to see two of their stalwarts finally lifting a major trophyโbut doing so abroad. For Bayern fans, it was a testament to the clubโs ability to blend new arrivals into its winning culture while maintaining dominance in German football.
Dier summed it up best: โIt wasnโt just about winning a trophy. It was about the journeyโthe years of work, the sacrifices, the belief that someday it would all be worth it. To share that with Harry, someone Iโve battled alongside for so long, made it unforgettable.โ
As Bayern looks to build on that success, the image of Dier and Kane celebrating together will remain one of the standout memories of the seasonโproof that persistence, loyalty, and friendship can indeed lead to glory.
