Bayern Munich opened their Bundesliga title defence in emphatic fashion, overwhelming RB Leipzig 6–0 at the Allianz Arena on Friday. Michael Olise struck in the 27th and 42nd minutes, either side of a powerful finish from summer signing Luis Díaz, to send Vincent Kompany’s side into the interval three goals clear. England captain Harry Kane then delivered a 14-minute hat-trick, scoring in the 64th, 74th and 78th minutes—two of them laid on by Díaz—to complete the rout. The treble is the striker’s first of the new campaign and his seventh in Germany’s top flight since joining from Tottenham in 2023. Kane said the champions “wanted to open the season with a statement and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” while club captain Joshua Kimmich hailed the forward as an “absolute team player” whose work off the ball matches his goal-scoring output. The result underlines Bayern’s determination to extend a run of 12 titles in the past 13 seasons and leaves Leipzig, now under Ole Werner, searching for answers after a humbling start.
