- Bayern beat Cologne 4-1 in the DFB-Pokal after falling behind, with Luis Díaz and Michael Olise joining Harry Kane on the scoresheet.
- Kane’s double takes him to 22 goals in 14 matches this season across all competitions.
- The victory makes Bayern the first club from Europe’s top five leagues to start a season with 14 consecutive wins, surpassing AC Milan’s 1992–93 mark of 13.
- Sky Sports Germany reports Bayern have added Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani to a striker shortlist for depth and succession, with a reported summer release clause and Barcelona also interested.
- Multiple reports suggest Bayern are unlikely to make Nicolas Jackson’s loan permanent, while Kane remains under contract until 2027 with a widely reported release clause and indications his family is settled in Bavaria.
