Watch: "We had too much for them" - Kane

Full-time: Bayern 6-1 Leipzig

Bayern put on a clinic, with Luis Díaz scoring a wonderful hat-trick. Aleksandar Pavlović, Michael Olise and Harry Kane were also among the goals on a day to forget for Martín Demichelis's Leipzig, who did manage a late consolation.

Andrija Maksimović leathers an unstoppable finish into the roof of the net to deny Urbig his clean sheet. Bayern allowed Gruda far too much room in the build-up.

Hat-trick hero!

Kane marks his 100th Bundesliga appearance with a goal. He won't get an easier finish - Díaz spotted Brown's run from deep and the Bayern left-back's cross into the six-yard box was measured to perfection.

Expected Goals

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Three superb goals - all made to look very easy.

No stopping Bayern!

That's the best goal of the night so far. Olise takes possession after Bayern pick off Leipzig on halfway. He finds Kane and proceeds to make a stealthy run into a central position, before receiving the return pass on the edge of the area and leaving Vandevoordt rooted to the spot with a laser-guided finish into the far corner.

It's all Bayern as Kane backheels into the path of Upamecano of all people. The burly defender puts his laces through the ball from close range, forcing a strong save from the goalkeeper.

Chance!

Kimmich finds Díaz again on the edge of the Leipzig penalty area, but the Colombian balloons over with his first-time attempt.

Advantage Bayern!

There doesn't appear to be much on as Kimmich takes possession in midfield, but he has other ideas and expertly bypasses the Leipzig defence with a trademark chipped pass. Díaz controls brilliantly, takes another touch to set himself on the edge of the D and calmly fires beyond Vandevoordt.

Watch: Eyes on Urbig

It's a fourth appearance of the season for Urbig, and 36th all told as a Bayern player.

Table talk

Bayern can go top with a win today, for 24 hours at least. Victory for Leipzig, meanwhile, would lift them above the defending champions into third.

Kane milestone

Kane makes his 100th Bundesliga appearance today. The 33-year-old has only missed eight Bundesliga games for Bayern since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023, while finding the net 101 times in his 99 league outings to date.

More on that Bayern team

As expected, there's still no Neuer, so it's Urbig in goal once more. Elsewhere, defender Upamecano, midfielder Pavlović and attacker Saibari come in for Tah, Bischof and Karl.

More on that Leipzig team

Head coach Martín Demichelis has made two changes to the side that beat PSV in the Champions League during the week. Klostermann replaces Baku at right-back, making his first Bundesliga start since April earlier this year, while Reitz comes into the side for Rômulo, which will likely mean Nkunku playing up top.

Neuer question marks

Manuel Neuer could be a spectator against Leipzig after missing training on Thursday. The Bayern goalkeeper didn't play at Viking due to a foot injury, with Jonas Urbig ready to step in once more this weekend. "We'll see how Manu feels today," Kompany said at his pre-match press conference. "It won't be long, but we'll have to see if [he's back] tomorrow or next week."

'Bayern might be angry' - Raum

Despite what the form books might suggest, Leipzig captain David Raum has warned against complacency in Munich. "I don’t know if there’s a right time to face Bayern. If they’re struggling a little bit, they might be angry and want to win at home. If they’re in a good mood, maybe they’re flowing," he told the Bundesliga. "So I don’t know if there’s a right moment to face them. But for us, it’s good that we’ve had two big wins and two games in which we conceded no goals. So we’re going to Munich with our chests out, and let’s see what they’ve prepared."

'We want to attack' - Kompany

More from Vincent Kompany on Bayern's showdown with Leipzig.

'Bayern shaped me' - Demichelis

Demichelis made 259 appearances for Bayern, before returning as coach of the club's U19s and later overseeing the reserves. "I'll never forget the trust that Bayern placed in me back then when they signed me in 2003," he told the Bayern website. "Bayern shaped me over a total of 12 years as a player and later as a coach – and as a person too. It was always my dream to be a coach in the Bundesliga. I'm very proud that I'm now able to fulfil this dream at a top club like RB Leipzig."

A double reunion

As well as returning to his former club, where Demichelis made 259 appearances and won four Bundesliga titles, the Argentine will also come up against an old teammate in Kompany. The pair played over 50 games together in Manchester City's central defence and winning the English Premier League. Old friends they may be, but "tomorrow we're opponents" Kompany affirmed.

Demichelis on what this fixture means to him

"It's really special for me to return to Munich and the Allianz Arena. I had lots of great moments there. Anyone who knows me and my career knows that. But those people also know I want to win tomorrow."

Martín Demichelis on facing Bayern

"It won't be easy tomorrow. Against Bayern, we need drive, courage, passion and conviction. We want to be compact and aggressive against the ball. We can't just defend for 95 minutes. It's not our idea of football. We need to play forward and create chances."

Bayern team news

Speaking on Friday morning, Kompany confirmed that Manuel Neuer has not trained this week and they will have to wait and see if he can join the team for the afternoon's session. Apart from him, every player - including Aleks Pavlović - has trained normally except for Jamal Musiala, who's still recovering from a hamstring injury.

Vincent Kompany on facing Leipzig

"We know about Leipzig's strengths. You can see they've made a few changes. It's helped the team. They're coming here with confidence. We know each other very well, have played against each other a lot. These games often come down to the quality on the pitch."

Leipzig's Christopher Nkunku and Antonio Nusa are the most potent attacking duo in the Bundesliga so far this season.

Bayern held in Norway

Vincent Kompany's charges found themselves 2-0 down against Viking but a second-half brace from Harry Kane levelled proceedings before Luis Díaz completed the turnaround. They did, however, concede a late equaliser after Michael Olise was sent off, meaning he will miss next week's Champions League clash against Arsenal.

Bayern have only lost one of their past 48 Bundesliga outings, but Vincent Kompany's charges have already dropped as many points this season (four) as in the entire first half of the 2025/26 campaign.
