The preparation for the coming season is going into the decisive phase. The traditional club from London is now waiting for FC Bayern in the test – with several old acquaintances.
It is the penultimate big test game of FC Bayern in preparation for the 2025/26 season. After the 2-1 win against Olympique Lyon a few days ago, the German record champion now meets Premier League giant Tottenham Hotspur in the home stadium.
And with it also on old acquaintances: just a few days after the change to the “Spurs”, Bayern’s lack of defect João Palihina returns to the Allianz Arena. And Mathys Tel also knows his way around the Bavarian capital, only moved from Bavaria to London for 35 million euros a few weeks ago.
At Bayern, the focus will be on newcomers Luis Díaz: How does the Colombian, who came from Liverpool for 70 million euros, fit into the team of coach Vincent Kompany?
Follow the game here live in the ticker from 6.30 p.m.
29th minute – The next wonderful long ball: Díaz finds Kingsley Coman with a diagonal pass deep on the right. The Frenchman flank immediately, Olise lurks in the Tottenham five in the back of Van de Ven-but the Dutch can save at the last second.
25th minute – The next chance for the Munich: Díaz ‘flank test from the left is blocked, but Goretzka splashes in between, prevails until shortly before the penalty area and pulls off with the pike. But no problem for Vicario.
20th minute – So far, this has been a very convincing, dominant idea of Bavaria that do not let Tottenham come into the game at all and put it under permanent pressure.
16th minute of play – Something like the first chance for Tottenham: Mohammed Kudus puts on Richarlison, which shoots directly – in Manuel Neuer’s arms.
15th minute – Kane puts on the ball – and shoots! Unhappy from the Englishman, who slips on the wet lawn when shot and pulls the ball across the goal meter. His first shot penalty in the Bavaria jersey.
14th minute – now the events roll over. Pens for Bavaria. And who caused him? Output João Palhinha: The Portuguese comes against Josip Stanišić too late, who was used beautifully by Kane and clears the Croatian international. Referee Robert Hartmann immediately points to the point. Mockers may say: that was Palhinha’s best action for Bayern …
12th minute – and that’s 1-0 for Bayern! Olise plays a sugar pass from the center line on Kane in the Tottenham penalty room, which takes on the ball perfectly, lets trace defender Micky van de Ven get out-and pushes in at the bottom left.
7th minute of play – This is quite rough here in the first few minutes. Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario affords a bad playback error that Bayern fight for the ball in the opposing half. Harry Kane is sought – and fouled in the half field. Joshua Kimmich kicks the free kick-and finds Leon Goretzka in the Tottenham penalty room. But the national player’s attempt goes over it.
