"Bayern Munich continued their sensational start to the 2025/26 season with a 5-0 thrashing of VfB Stuttgart away from home, led by a hat-trick from talisman Harry Kane, who started the match from the bench. Vincent Kompany made wholesale changes to the starting lineup from the one that started in the 3-2 win over Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal and the Belgian manager also had one eye on the Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon this week at the Allianz Arena."
"To date, Bayer's only slip-ups this season were the 2-2 Bundesliga draw at Union Berlin and the 3-1 loss at Arsenal in the Champions Leauge - other than that, they've been next to perfect. The German Rekordmeister are on top of the league table by a comfortable eight points over second-place RB Leipzig, on to the quarterfinals of the DFB-Pokal, and in a direct qualification spot for the knockout stages in the Champions League."
Bayern Munich won 5-0 at VfB Stuttgart, with Harry Kane scoring a hat-trick after coming off the bench. Vincent Kompany rotated his starting eleven following the DFB-Pokal win over Union Berlin and conserved energy ahead of the Champions League tie against Sporting Lisbon. Bayern's only blemishes this season are a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin and a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal. Bayern lead the Bundesliga by eight points, have reached the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals, and hold a Champions League qualification position. Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala are injured but close to returning, and Uli Hoeneß urged caution about title talk.
