Bayern Munich faced a shocking 3-0 defeat at the hands of rivals Bayer Leverkusen, dealing a major blow to Harry Kane’s title hopes. Despite his illustrious 11-year career, Kane, who recently joined Bayern for £104 million, has yet to win a single piece of silverware. His move to the serial trophy winners was seen as a potential breakthrough in his pursuit of trophies.

However, the England captain experienced a series of setbacks, including defeat in the German Super Cup and a surprising elimination from the German Cup by third-tier side Saarbrucken. Leverkusen, under Xabi Alonso’s leadership, seized control of the title race with a dominant performance, securing a 3-0 victory over Bayern at the BayArena. Goals from Josip Stanisic and Alex Grimaldo, followed by Jeremie Frimpong’s late strike, sealed the win for Leverkusen. Kane’s impact in the crucial clash was limited despite being Bundesliga’s top scorer.

The defeat sent shockwaves across Europe, fueling speculation about Alonso’s potential return to Liverpool to replace Jurgen Klopp. Klopp, who announced his departure from Liverpool in June after nine successful years, has reportedly made contact with Alonso, but the Spanish tactician remained focused on his current role at Leverkusen, expressing respect for Klopp’s achievements at Anfield.

Here is the highlight video of Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munchen, which ended with a 3-0 victory for Leverkusen.
