Overview
- Harry Kane decided the 2–1 win over Borussia Dortmund with a headed opener, a long diagonal pass in the move before Bayern’s second, and a key late defensive tackle.
- Lothar Matthäus hailed Kane as the game’s most complete striker, saying he has reinvented the centre-forward role and urging Bayern to extend his contract quickly.
- Didi Hamann cautioned against a premature extension given Kane’s age and form across top opposition, while reports claim an exit clause would allow a summer move for €65 million if a buyer deposits funds in winter.
- Kane’s output remains prolific under Vincent Kompany’s freer role, with 12 Bundesliga goals in seven matches and 19 in 11 across all competitions, drawing praise from Bayern CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen.
- On the same night, captain Manuel Neuer set a Bundesliga record with his 363rd league victory, underscoring parallel milestones at the club.
