Bayern Munich continued their ruthless march toward another Bundesliga title with a stunning 5-1 demolition of RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena.
Despite a shaky start, Vincent Kompany’s side showcased why they are currently the most feared team in Europe, overcoming an early deficit to maintain their 11-point lead at the top of the table.
The Great Turnaround
The match began with a surprise as RB Leipzig took the lead in the first half through Brazilian striker Rômulo, who netted his 5th goal of the campaign. However, the Bavarians “stepped on the gas” after the interval:
- 50’: Serge Gnabry equalized to shift the momentum.
- 67’: Harry Kane found the net to put Bayern ahead.
- 83’: New signing Jonathan Tah added a third.
- 85’ & 88’: Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise sealed the thrashing in the final minutes.
Harry Kane: Making History in Munich
Harry Kane continues to defy logic in German football. With his goal against Leipzig, the England captain has now reached 21 goals in just 18 league games this season.
After winning his first major title in 2025, Kane is now on track for a second consecutive Bundesliga trophy. His partnership with Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala has transformed Bayern into an unstoppable offensive force, boasting 16 wins and zero losses so far this season.
Looking Ahead: Champions League Night
With the domestic league firmly under control (50 points in 18 games), Bayern now shifts its focus to the UEFA Champions League. They will host Saint-Gilloise this week, where a victory is widely expected to keep their European ambitions alive.
