RB Leipzig showed signs of life after the break, with Antonio Nusa coming close and even having a goal ruled out. However, their resistance soon crumbled as Harry Kane took center stage.

Kane Hat-Trick Dominates

Kane made it 4-0 in the 64th minute, slotting home a pass from Díaz. He added his second goal in the 74th minute and completed the hat-trick just four minutes later, leaving Leipzig’s defense helpless. Kane’s clinical finishing underlined why Bayern invested in the England captain and highlighted his immediate impact on the team.

Supporting Stars Shine

Díaz contributed two assists on his Bundesliga debut, showcasing his creative flair, while Olise’s brace emphasized Bayern’s attacking depth. Despite making multiple substitutions, coach Vincent Kompany’s side maintained their intensity and fluidity, keeping Leipzig under constant pressure.

Implications for Bayern’s Title Defense

The emphatic 6-0 win sends a clear message to the rest of the Bundesliga: Bayern Munich are in top form, and their attack—led by Kane, Díaz, Olise, and Gnabry—is firing on all cylinders. The victory not only boosts confidence but also sets a high benchmark for their rivals this season.

With Kane settling in seamlessly and Bayern’s new signings already making an impact, the champions look poised to defend their crown. If this performance is any indication, the rest of the Bundesliga will have to contend with a team that is not only lethal in attack but also relentless in intensity and teamwork.

Bayern’s title defense has officially begun, and with Harry Kane leading the charge, they are signaling their intent to continue dominating German football.
