Bayern Munich news

Bayern Munich's unbeaten record in this season's Bundesliga is gone! The Bavarians were upset at the Allianz Arena by Augsburg, although the German champions are still eight points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table, meaning it's unlikely to adversely affect their chances of retaining their title. However, things are getting very interesting in England, where we thought Arsenal were almost home and hosed only to suffer a wobble that has made things very interesting, given Manchester City and Aston Villa are both closing in on the Gunners.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to 13th-place Augsburg, their first league loss of the season and there was a spiteful sting in tail from their opponents, who took to social media to crow about their stunning victory. The victory narrowed Bayern’s lead at the top of the table as Harry Kane drew a rare blank, but was also in Augsburg media department’s targets.

Bayern Munich fell to a shock Bundesliga defeat on Saturday afternoon as they were beaten 2-1 by relegation-threatened Augsburg. Hiroki Ito had headed the German giants into a first-half lead, but Bayern were sloppy throughout the contest and fell behind after goals from Arthur Chaves and Han-Noah Massengo. Vincent Kompany's side could now see their lead at the top of table cut down if nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund beat Union Berlin.

Harry Kane enjoyed being reunited with former Tottenham team-mate Toby Alderweireld following his latest Champions League outing for Bayern Munich, despite being reminded that he was once billed as a “one-season wonder” in English football. Kane has proved to be much more than that, with remarkable standards being maintained in domestic and continental competition.

Vincent Kompany has jokingly admitted that viral videos of his explosive dressing room tirades have left him on shaky ground as a parent, with his children having watched the X-rated clips on YouTube. The Bayern Munich boss revealed he has tried to tone down his language since moving to Germany, but warned his squad that he is still capable of losing his cool if he detects one specific attitude problem within the camp.

Los Blancos remain top of the pile, with their Catalan rivals climbing back up the list, but it's bad news for Manchester United and Manchester City.

Harry Kane helped Bayern Munich automatically qualify for the last-16 of the Champions League by scoring both goals in the German giants' 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. The England captain missed a chance at a hat-trick, however, as his 81st minute penalty cannoned off the crossbar. Bayern overcame the 63rd minute sending off of Kim Min-Jae, as well as the absence of their banned ultras, to secure the victory.

While goals were hard to come by in the Premier League over the weekend, there were still plenty of intriguing narratives that emerged in England's top-flight, while elsewhere around Europe there was plenty of entertainment to be had ahead of the return of the Champions League this midweek.

Harry Kane has revealed that he was told by Vincent Kompany, during his first conversation with the Bayern Munich head coach, that he would become “merciless” in the Belgian’s philosophy of football. Kompany succeeded Thoams Tuchel at the Allianz Arena in 2025 and helped prolific striker Kane to lift his fabled trophy curse when becoming a Bundesliga title winner.
