Harry Kane gets drenched! Bayern Munich star sends out message after kicking off pre-season with rain-soaked win over Lyon

The German champions won courtesy of two Michael Olise goals on a wet day in Munich, Alejandro Rodriguez pulling a goal back late on for financially-stricken Lyon. England captain Kane took to X to share a photo of himself drenched during the match, expressing his delight at victory alongside a tongue-in-cheek claim that he "loves playing in this weather".

Kane will begin his third season in the Bundesliga with the pressure of a first career trophy win finally off his back. He will play alongside a Premier League title winner in Luis Diaz, who joined from Liverpool earlier this week after securing his first league title with the club last season. Diaz made his Bayern debut in the second half against Lyon and Kane said he is "delighted" to play alongside the Colombian.

Kane captioned his post on X: "Great to be back at the Allianz! Good win to kick off our pre-season preparations. Love playing in this weather!"

The Bayern striker then spoke to Sky Sport Germany after the match and added: "The team is hungry and ready. Our squad is strong, we saw that today - and we'll see that again at the start of the season. I'm ready, and we have a few games before the opening game to get into shape."

Kane will look forward to what he hopes will be another strong season on a personal level - having already scored a staggering 85 goals in two seasons at Bayern, including 62 in 63 Bundesliga appearances. Going deep into the Champions League will be a major target for the club in 2025/26 in addition to retaining the league title. Their two closest challengers last year, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt, have both seen star players depart this summer.
