AFCON 2025
It’s still December but one will not be wrong to declare Bayern Munich champions of the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season.
The reigning champions took an important step towards defending their title with a commanding 5-0 win over Stuttgart away from home.
Three Lions captain, Harry Kane, came on in the 60th minute and scored a hay trick to reach 76 goals in 79 matches for Bayern Munich.
Konrad Laimer put the champions ahead in the 11th minute off Michael Olise’s assist. The Austrian midfielder received a pass in the box from the French winger, went past his marker before powering a low drive into the back of the net.
The first could have ended a goal apiece but the video assistant referee Nikolas Nartey’s goal for offside.
Harry Kane’s hat trick in less than half an hour put the game beyond the reach of the host as Bayern Munich maintain their grip on the top spot with 11 points over Leipzig as of the time of filing this report.
In other results, Wolfsburg ended a five-game winless streak with 3-1 win over Union Berlin.
Augsburg picked a 2-0 win over former champions Bayern Leverkusen while FC Koln and St. Pauli settled for a one-all draw.
