Harry Kane has rescued Bayern Munich from an embarrassing home defeat to the last-placed team in the Bundesliga. The England forward scored a penalty in the 87th minute for Bayern to draw 2-2 with Mainz on Sunday. Bayern is the runaway league leader and yet to lose a game. The visitors were playing their first league game under new coach Urs Fischer, back in the Bundesliga after enjoying great success with Union Berlin. Fischer was appointed last week to replace Bo Henriksen after Mainz's dismal start. Bayern dominated from the start and Lennart Karl the team's newest star opened the scoring in the 29th when he was well placed for a tap-in to Serge Gnabry's cross. It was Bayern's 50th Bundesliga goal of the season, a record after just 14 rounds of the league. But the home team failed to make more of its superiority and was shocked before the break when defender Kacper Potulski equalized. It was the 18-year-old Polish youth international's first Bundesliga goal in just his second
The German giants have dropped points just once this season, against Union Berlin before the November international break, while Arsenal's campaign has been close to flawless as well.
Bayern Munich has finally failed to win a game. Dutch defender Danilho Doekhi struck twice for Union Berlin to hold the Bavarian powerhouse 2-2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, ending Bayern's record 16-game winning streak in all competitions to start the season. "I've been saying all week that we knew it was going to be a fight today," Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. It could have been worse for his team, but Harry Kane scored in stoppage time to avert a defeat. "We won a point today. At Bayern you always lose two points when you don't win, but still, the 92nd minute (equalizer), the mentality, (and) Leipzig lost," Kompany said of Bayern's closest challenger. "So it keeps going, and this record the only thing that matters for me is that we showed we can win 16 games in a row. Why can't we try it again?" The result meant Bayern fell one game short of matching its Bundesliga-record 10-game winning start to the league from 2015. Kompany made just one change to the team that defe

Harry Kane says the Champions League offers more opportunities to score than the Bundesliga after he grabbed two goals in Bayern Munich's 3-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday. The England star tucked away a penalty after he was brought down by Moises Caicedo, then capitalized on teammates' pressure on Malo Gusto when the ball fell kindly for him to fire inside the far post. I always feel like in the Champions League you create maybe more chances than the Bundesliga, the games are maybe a bit more open, and that suits me, Kane told broadcaster DAZN. Hopefully I can get more than 11 this year, he added, referring to his tally in the Champions League last season. The 32-year-old Kane has already scored nine goals in five games across all competitions for Bayern so far this season 10 goals in six games including the German Supercup. It's always the aim to improve and get better, he said. Bayern got the scoring underway when Michael Olise forced an own goal from Trevoh Chalobah and migh

Bayern Munich's search for a backup for star forward Harry Kane was continuing on the last day of the summer transfer period Monday. Bayern's efforts to sign Senegal forward Nicholas Jackson on loan from Chelsea failed late Sunday after an injury to his teammate Liam Delap forced a rethink on the deal. The clubs had reportedly reached agreement, but Delap's injury on Saturday put a halt to proceedings. Chelsea, which had reportedly asked the player to return to London, would only consider a permanent switch and Bayern insisted on a loan. They failed to reach agreement. Bayern powerbroker Uli Hoene last month said the club should only make loan signings for the rest of the transfer window, avoiding any more big-money signings following the arrival of Luis Daz from Liverpool. This, despite the departures of Kingsley Coman and Leroy San. It complicated efforts by Max Eberl, Bayern's board member for sport, to reinforce the squad after a summer in which he failed to sign Germany playe
Harry Kane scored a hat trick as Bayern Munich started its Bundesliga title defense with a 6-0 demolition of Leipzig. The Bavarian powerhouse dominated with the exception of a 15-minute spell after halftime when Antonio Nusa went close for the visitors on Friday. Nusa, who also had a goal ruled out, served to only rile more goals from Kane, who was supported by the outstanding Michael Olise, who scored two, and Luis Daz, who got the other goal and set up two on his Bundesliga debut. "We wanted to come out with a statement and that's exactly what we done," Kane told Sky TV. "Leipzig are a good side but today we was on top in all areas and we was clinical when we needed to be, so we can enjoy this." Olise broke the deadlock in the 27th minute and Daz had the home fans celebrating again five minutes later when he rifled the ball in off the underside of the crossbar after a well-worked move involving Kane and Serge Gnabry. Gnabry laid the ball off for Daz with his heel. Olise got his
Jamal Musiala is still using crutches after breaking his leg at the Club World Cup but Bayern Munich hopes he'll be back by the end of the year. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder was stretchered off in pain after colliding with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as his team lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals this month. Jamal still has crutches but the process is very, very positive, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said Thursday at an event to present new signing Luis Daz. Eberl added that the club expects Musiala could return around the same time as wing back Alphonso Davies. The Canadian player has been out since sustaining a severe knee ligament injury with his national team in March, but Eberl said he had his first exercises on the field Thursday. So far there have been no complications with both of them. We need to knock on wood that it stays that way and then we obviously hope that they will be available at the end of the year, Eb
Bayern Munich signed Liverpool winger Luis Daz to a four-year contract on Wednesday in the German champion's biggest deal of the offseason so far. The move balances out Liverpool's heavy spending with a fee reported at 75 million euros ($87 million) by German media, while Bayern dips into the millions it earned at the Club World Cup, a competition Liverpool didn't qualify for. Daz had been with Liverpool since 2022 and scored 17 goals in 50 games across all competitions last season as the club won the Premier League title. From today on I'm part of this lovely family, Diaz said in Spanish in a video message posted on Bayern's social media accounts. Daz leaves amid Isak speculationLiverpool had dismissed talk of the 28-year-old Colombia winger leaving but its approach shifted when he was left out of the squad for a preseason friendly loss to AC Milan on Saturday. Diaz's departure comes in an offseason where Liverpool has spent heavily strengthening a team that won a record-equaling
Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala says there's no one to blame for the left leg fracture he sustained in a tackle from Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Club World Cup. The Germany star posted an update on Instagram on Wednesday, when he thanked people for their support after he fractured his fibula (bone in the lower leg) during Bayern's loss to PSG in the quarterfinals on Saturday. It's nice to see how the football world comes together in a time like this and I really appreciate it, Musiala said. Musiala was flown back to Munich on Sunday for surgery on the injury that Bayern said was associated with an ankle dislocation. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had criticized Donnarumma for his action, suggesting his Italian counterpart didn't necessarily have to go in like that and that he had knowingly risked causing an injury. Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl also criticized Donnarumma, saying there was a big danger something can happen with the goalkeep

Thomas Mller led Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title celebrations after helping the team beat Borussia Mnchengladbach 2-0 in his last home game for the club. After being presented with the trophy, Bayern captain Manuel Neuer gave it to Mller to hoist toward the Munich sky and start the confetti-filled revelry. There was another outpouring of emotion when Harry Kane got his chance to lift the salad bowl it's the England captain's first team trophy after a career of near-misses. Kane was still holding onto the trophy even as Neuer got the customary beer showers underway by dousing Mller after a speech to the crowd. But soon Kane was soaked, too, and he let the trophy out of his grip. Bayern won its record-extending 34th German championship title last weekend. Michael Olise made sure of Saturday's win by scoring one goal and setting up the other for Kane's league-leading 25th of the season to get the party underway in Munich. RELEGATION DECIDED Bochum and Holstein Kiel were relegated
Harry Kane says he feels amazing after finally winning his first career title at the age of 31. After Bayern Munich's Bundesliga win on Sunday, Kane said in an Instagram post on Monday, It just feels sweet to win the title and the first one of my career. Kane had to endure a long wait after a career of runner-up finishes and defeats in finals with Bayern, Tottenham and England. It seemed like an anomaly for a player considered among the world's best forwards. Bayern's 11 Bundesliga wins in a row must have factored in Kane's decision to join the German team from Tottenham in 2023, but his first season in Bavaria coincided with Bayern's first trophyless year since 2012. He was dismayed to be suspended from Bayern's potentially title-clinching game at Leipzig on Saturday, but made his way to the touchline to celebrate with Bayern leading 3-2 in stoppage time. Then Leipzig's Yussef Poulsen equalized with the last kick of the game, postponing Bayern's party. But Bayer Leverkusen's 2-2
