Bayern Munich’s trophyless 2023/24 season struck the club hard. Recovering from that difficult spell and figuring out how to win silverware again took a lot of effort and introspection. But finally, the Bavarians found their key to victory following their 2024/25 Bundesliga victory.
Unfortunately, it seems Bayern have already lost sight of what matters and, in doing so, forgotten their roots. After a fortunate 2-0 victory against Rasenballsport Leipzig in the DFB Pokal, ESPN reporters asked
Bayern player Harry Kane where the all important cockatoo is.
Sensationally, the Englishman admitted he did not know: “It’s somewhere. Danksey [assistant coach Aaron Danks] will have it somewhere. He keeps it safe. So, hopefully we will see it out again sometime.”
So, that is why Bayern could not steamroll Leipzig with a double digit victory. It all makes sense now. Bayern got away with it this day, but if they do not bring out the cockatoo at the right time in the future it could spell dire consequences for the Bavarians’ season.
