Bayern beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 to secure automatic Champions League last-16 qualification, with Kane scoring twice. Kim was sent off, and Kane later missed a hat-trick when his second penalty struck the crossbar in the closing stages. Kane headed in from an Olise corner, then converted a penalty after being fouled. Despite playing with ten, Bayern controlled possession and limited danger. The Sudkurve was empty because tickets were cancelled after UEFA punished pyrotechnics from prior matches.

Michael Owen says Barcelona and Real Madrid should avoid signing Harry Kane despite a reported £57m release clause, arguing the deal would be short-term and poor value given Kane’s age. Owen claims elite moves need perfect timing and demand. He suggests Kane’s options are narrower now, and buying him would be for immediate impact only, with limited years of top output to justify the cost.

December 2025

Kane has exploded out of the blocks for Bayern, scoring 18 goals in 14 league games and five in six Champions League ties.

Former Bayern man Mario Basler backed Kane to break the record, noting his all-round contribution and tactical flexibility, including deeper roles and support for Nicolas Jackson.

Manuel Neuer
December 2025

Bayern confirmed captain Manuel Neuer has suffered a muscle tear in his right thigh, sustained late in the 2-2 draw with Mainz, ruling the 39-year-old out of their final match of 2025 and reopening the door for summer recruit Jonas Urbig to start away at Heidenheim. Neuer, who grimaced through the closing stages as headers from Kacper Potulski and Lee Jae-sung punished rare defensive lapses, underwent tests in Munich on Monday that indicated several weeks out. The winter break limits the damage, with Bayern expecting him back for January as Urbig gains a third league start.
