The FIFA Club World Cup match between Bayern Munich and Auckland City will take place at TQL Stadium, Cincinnati, USA
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
Having netted 24 goals this season, Kane played a crucial role in Bayern's dominant campaign, stamping his authority not just as a goal scorer, but as a leader of men.

Borussia Dortmund prevented Bayern Munich from going eight points clear in the Bundesliga by fighting back for a 2-2 draw in der Klassiker. Bayern was on course to start thinking of title celebrations as substitutes Serge Gnabry and Raphal Guerreiro both scored within four minutes of each other to cancel out Maximilian Beier's opener for Dortmund after the break. But Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton equalized on a rebound in the 75th after Jonas Urbig saved Serhou Guirassy's acrobatic effort. Harry Kane missed a big chance for Bayern, though he wasn't the only one as Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel had a busy match. A game of missed opportunities, said Thomas Mller after making a rare start for Bayern. The 35-year-old Mller captained the side and was pushed onto the field by teammates before the match to receive fans' applause after the club announced last week that his contract won't be renewed at the end of the season. The draw stopped Bayern from capitalizing on defending cha

Bayern Munich is considering legal action against the Canadian soccer federation following Alphonso Davies' serious knee injury in a match of little importance. We're demanding a full investigation into the events from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action, Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen told the Bild tabloid on Friday. Davies tore a ligament and sustained other damage in his right knee during Canada's 2-1 win over the United States in the third-place decider for the CONCACAF Nations League tournament on Sunday. Davies returned to Munich where the full extent of the injury was determined on Wednesday. The left-back underwent surgery and will be out for several months, Bayern said. The club is alleging that Canadian officials did not provide appropriate care for the player. Sending a clearly injured player with a damaged knee on a 12-hour intercontinental flight without a thorough medical assessment is, in our view, grossly negligent and a
A mistake by young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig meant Bayern Munich dropped points for the second Bundesliga game in a row with a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin. Bayern seemed on course for victory when Leroy San scored in the 75th minute after Bayern had struggled to break through Union's deep defensive line, but Urbig's error eight minutes later proved costly. Urbig came off his line to deal with a deflected cross which looped high into the air, but he could only palm it to Union striker Benedict Hollerbach, who hit it in low to level the score. Bayern's lead in the Bundesliga over Bayer Leverkusen increased to nine points, but Leverkusen could cut the gap to six with a win Sunday over Stuttgart. Union is 13th. We're not happy with the result but it wasn't a bad performance, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. While Bayern has been strong in the Champions League, beating Leverkusen 5-0 over two legs to reach the quarterfinals, its Bundesliga form has dipped. The draw with Union follows a 3-2

Perhaps Manuel Neuer should stick to stopping goals. The Bayern Munich goalkeeper injured himself while celebrating a goal during his team's 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday. It led to the 21-year-old Jonas Urbig, a winter signing from Cologne, going on to make his Bayern debut. Neuer went off with what looked like a right ankle injury in the 58th minute, shortly after celebrating Jamal Musiala's goal Bayern's second on the night with a little jump near the halfway line. "It happens sometimes," Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. "It's a pity for us, but we've always talked about the squad. that's how we've come so far, in the league and where we are, and that's how it's going to stay. If it's Urbig, it's Urbig and we're not going to worry about it." Urbig had little to do as Bayern maintained its dominance of the game. The visitors had Nordi Mukiele sent off with a second yellow card and Harry Kane made it 3-0 from the penalty spot to score his

Bayer Leverkusen kept pace with Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich by beating Hoffenheim 3-1 when Victor Boniface made his long-awaited comeback. Boniface scored with his first shot at goal since his proposed move to Saudi team Al-Nassr collapsed. The Nigeria forward started for his first game since early November after recovering from a thigh injury. He needs game time. He's focused and we need him for the second half of the season. We need the whole squad, Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said of Boniface, who played the first half before making way for Patrik Schick before the second. Leverkusen finished with 10 players after lex Grimaldo's sending off with half an hour to play. New signings Emiliano Buenda and Mario Hermoso made their debuts as Alonso's team stayed six points behind Bayern two weeks before the top two clash in Leverkusen.
