    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    A shock collapse in the space of six second-half minutes, which saw Fatih Kaya bag a brace, threatened to leave Vincent Kompany’s side on the wrong end of a shock giant-killing - with Kane fluffing his lines when stepping up to take a second spot-kick.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    England captain Kane was, however, to have the final say. He calmly converted from close range in the 94th minute to wrap up a battling 3-2 victory for Bayern. They remain in contention for another domestic honour as a result.

  • WHAT KANE SAID

    Kane was a relieved man at the final whistle, having been forced to play 90-plus minutes in a game that Kompany would have hoped to rest and rotate in, with the 32-year-old striker posting on social media: “Got the job done in the end. Into the next round which is the main thing and lots to learn from.”

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Kane has now scored six goals through three appearances in the 2025-26 campaign, with another trophy secured in the German Super Cup before bagging a hat-trick in a Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig. He has one more outing to take in, at Augsburg on Saturday, before heading away with England - where he will be looking to add to his record-setting tally of 73 goals for the Three Lions.
