Harry Kane
February 2026
Kane scored twice to reach 500 senior goals for club and country. His season output is framed as elite form heading toward the World Cup. One goal came from the penalty spot after Karl was fouled and VAR upheld the decision. The piece also states Kane has scored 41 in 35 this season across competitions and remains perfect on Bundesliga penalties since joining Bayern, converting all 23 attempts.
Leon Goretzka
January 2026
Arsenal made a late bid for Goretzka as emergency midfield cover after Merino’s injury, but Goretzka chose to stay at Bayern through the season. Reports say Arsenal “intervened” late with a formal approach, with Arteta viewing Goretzka as the physical, box-to-box profile to protect Arsenal’s midfield for the title run-in and Champions League knockouts. The move collapsed because the player preferred a structured exit plan, pushing any transfer decision into a likely summer market battle.
Harry Kane, Bayern Munich
January 2026
Bayern drew 2-2 at Hamburg, with Kane and Bayern unhappy with officiating and multiple penalty appeals after a first-half spot-kick went against them. Kimmich tripped Remberg for a Hamburg penalty that Kane protested; Hamburg converted. Bayern responded with goals from Kane and Diaz, but conceded an equaliser from Vuskovic’s header. Post-match, Kane criticised the referee despite Bayern’s later appeals being waved away.

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.

Bayern overturned a 1-0 half-time deficit to win 5-1, with Kane scoring early in the turnaround and Bayern extending their unbeaten run. Gnabry equalised, Kane finished after an Olise pass, then Bayern piled on through Tah, Pavlovic and Olise as Leipzig collapsed in the second half, reinforcing Bayern’s dominance and Kane’s prolific scoring form.
Jamal Musiala
January 2026
Musiala is expected to be included in Bayern’s matchday squad after seven months out, pending final training checks. Kompany says the plan is to involve him after a long rehabilitation from a serious injury suffered in the Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, giving Bayern a major creative boost for the run-in.
Michael Olise, Luis Diaz
January 2026
Bayern crushed Wolfsburg 8-1, with Olise and Diaz combining for five goal involvements and drawing comparisons to Robben and Ribery. Olise scored twice and assisted Diaz; Diaz scored, then assisted Olise. Bayern’s scoreline was boosted by two own goals, with Kane, Guerreiro, and Goretzka also scoring.
