Kane’s hat-trick fires Bayern Munich to German Cup glory

Harry Kane scored three goals in the second half as Bayern Munich crushed Stuttgart 3-0 in the German Cup final, claiming the domestic double with a dominant display.

The English striker took over the match after the break, finding the net three times to seal Bayern's grip on German football. Stuttgart offered little resistance as the Bavarian giants controlled possession and created chances at will.

Bayern's victory in the cup final comes on the back of their Bundesliga success, giving them both major domestic trophies this season. The club's attacking prowess, led by Kane's clinical finishing, proved too much for Stuttgart's defence throughout the contest.

Kane's hat-trick at the Olympiastadion Berlin cemented his importance to Bayern's title bid and trophy haul. The forward has been a key figure since his arrival, and his performance in the final showed why the club invested heavily in bringing him to Germany.

Bayern will now focus on their European commitments, while Stuttgart must regroup after the heavy defeat. The Cup final was Stuttgart's chance at silverware this season, but Kane's second-half burst ended those hopes decisively.
