Bayern Munich delivered a powerful statement ahead of the new season with a dominant 4–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in a pre-season friendly at the Allianz Arena. The match showcased Bayern’s attacking firepower, defensive control, and rising young stars, while Tottenham left Germany with more problems to solve.
Harry Kane Scores Early Against Former Club Tottenham
The Allianz Arena saw an early breakthrough when Harry Kane, facing his former club for the first time, reminded everyone of his sharp finishing skills. In just the 12th minute, Kane received a precise through ball from Michael Olise. With one smooth motion, he controlled it and guided a low shot into the bottom corner.
Kane’s early strike set the tone for the match, but the England striker missed a golden chance to add to his tally later in the first half.
Kingsley Coman Doubles Bayern’s Lead in Style
Tottenham began the second half with hopes of turning the tide, but Kingsley Coman had other ideas. Just minutes after the restart, Coman showcased his trademark flair. Picking up the ball on the right wing, he cut inside, beating his marker with a quick shift of pace before curling a stunning left-footed strike into the top corner.
It was the kind of goal that instantly silenced any hopes of a Tottenham comeback. The precision and power left Spurs’ goalkeeper with no chance.
Teenage Star Lennart Karl Makes It 3–0
The home crowd had more to cheer in the 68th minute when 17-year-old forward Lennart Karl made his mark. After a slick series of passes through midfield, Karl found space just outside the penalty area. Without hesitation, he unleashed a curling shot that bent away from the goalkeeper and into the net.
For Karl, it was a dream moment scoring in front of the Bayern faithful in a high-profile match. The Bayern bench erupted, knowing they were watching another rising star from their academy shine on a big stage.
Jonah Kusi-Asare Wraps Up the Win for Bayern
Bayern’s fourth and final goal came in the closing stages, courtesy of another teenage prospect, Jonah Kusi-Asare. Exploiting a gap in Tottenham’s tired defense, he sprinted through on goal with confidence. One-on-one with the keeper, he stayed calm and slotted the ball neatly into the far corner.
The goal sealed a comprehensive 4–0 win and gave Bayern another reason to be optimistic about their future. Both Karl and Kusi-Asare showed that the club’s next generation is ready to follow in the footsteps of its senior stars.
Tottenham Struggle Without Key Players
Tottenham entered the match with a depleted squad. Injuries had sidelined important players like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke. New signing João Palhinha made his first appearance but looked off the pace and was substituted at halftime.
While goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made several important saves to prevent the scoreline from being even worse, Tottenham lacked creativity in midfield and struggled to handle Bayern’s pressing game. Without their first-choice attackers, they rarely threatened Bayern’s goal and were forced into defensive positions for most of the match.
Prepared for League Game of 2025-2026 Seasons
For Bayern Munich, the emphatic victory sends a message that they are ready to challenge for every trophy this season. The mix of experienced stars like Kane and Coman with emerging talents like Karl and Kusi-Asare could make them even more dangerous.
For Tottenham, the defeat is a reality check. Injuries, lack of squad depth, and a lack of attacking rhythm all need to be addressed quickly if they are to compete at the top level in the coming months.
This pre-season friendly may not have carried points or silverware, but it revealed plenty about both sides. Bayern looked ruthless and efficient, while Tottenham showed signs of vulnerability.
