Football Bundesliga: Bayern’s master’s closing act with Kane as a party

Harry Kane wants to be there at least as a party. The yellow lock prevents the Englishman’s active cooperation in his possible first title win in Leipzig. But the 31 -year -old striker does not want to miss the very special celebration.

And that’s why Kane wants to be there in the Red Bull Arena on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) against RB Leipzig – albeit in civilian and as a happy fan in the stands. Kane does not hope for another postponement of the 34th Bayern championship by a week until the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

“We want to win the title as soon as possible,” said the 100 million euro striker, who finally wants to throw his Titellose business card in the trash. He would find it “great,” he said recently, “if a few people could no longer talk about that I haven’t won a title yet”.

One of the world’s best strikers has lost six finals in recent years, including 2021 and 2024 two EM final with England and the 2019 Champions League final with Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool. A bitter period of suffering for the man who scores goals on the assembly line.

And now Kane is missing if Bayern can make everything fixed in Leipzig on the third last Bundesliga matchday. It looks like a special punch line. “But that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t win the title too,” said Kane about his lock. And he announced: “I will celebrate as much as everyone else, don’t worry.”

The Munich team in the Leipzig Arena has not yet been given the master shell. At the end of the season, she not only wants to hold Kane for the first time, but also record champion Thomas Müller a 13th time. And then gives her once again Manuel Neuer.

Neuer had “good training week”

The 39 -year -old captain could be back in goal for the first time after a two -month injury break in Leipzig. “Manu had a good training week,” reported coach Vincent Kompany. But he also said that you will only sit down and decide after the final training “what is best for him and the team”. Means: no risk of new ones.

Kompany is excited to see what his team awaits in Leipzig. The fifth in the table is still about the Champions League qualification. Most recently there was a disastrous 0: 4 in Frankfurt for RB. Company puzzles: “Against Bavaria, the teams make radical decisions: full throttle forward or focus on the defensive. I think we get the best version of Leipzig as an opponent.” The 39 -year -old Belgian warns of too much party mood: “We have to prepare for the game, not for the master celebration.”

From now on, not only the original Bavarian Müller (35), but also the Englishman Eric dier (31) is located on a farewell tour. Kanes compatriot have to delete the Bayern bosses unintentionally from their complex defensive plans for the coming season. The contract talks were unsuccessful.

“Eric has informed us that he will not extend his contract. That is a fact,” reported sports director Christoph Freund. Dier, who came to Munich in early 2024 as a loan from Tottenham and always defended solidly when he was needed in the defense center, is about a transfer -free move to France to the AS Monaco. In the principality, he can sign a very lucrative three -year contract.

“Eric did it really well. He is a super boy. Hopefully he crowns his Bayern era with his first title,” said Freund. Dier could celebrate his personal title premiere together with his long-time Tottenham and national team buddy Harry Kane.
