Bayern Munich are building strong momentum heading into a busy stretch of fixtures, with the club's on-pitch form and off-pitch stability both pointing in a positive direction. A 7-0 demolition of Union Berlin in their most recent Bundesliga outing underlined the attacking force Vincent Kompany has assembled, with Harry Kane reaching 100 Bundesliga goals in just 98 appearances during that performance. The club sits second in the table, one point behind Borussia Dortmund, ahead of a trip to Augsburg on October 10.

Kane's importance extends beyond the scoresheet. Reports indicate Bayern have agreed in principle to extend his contract until 2029, a notable exception to the club's usual policy of short deals for players over 30. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge publicly backed the decision, citing Kane's remarkable injury record. Former assistant Anthony Barry added to the chorus of praise, describing Kane as the best finisher he has ever worked with, ahead of even Cristiano Ronaldo.

Company's own future also looks secure. His former mentor at Anderlecht described the Belgian as loyal and exactly where he should be, and the manager holds a contract through 2029 after an extension signed in October 2025. Two Bundesliga titles and a DFB-Pokal in two seasons have made him one of the most respected coaches in European football. With Michael Olise in brilliant form for club and country and the Champions League tie against Arsenal on October 21 approaching, Bayern's trajectory looks firmly upward.
