Bayern Munich capped off their remarkable 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign in style, dismantling FC Köln 5-1 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. The victory was powered by yet another Harry Kane hat-trick, as the English striker continued his relentless goal-scoring form to help Bayern reach an astonishing 122 goals for the season.
The match carried an emotional weight, as the club bid farewell to departing legends. Leon Goretzka, who leaves after years of outstanding service—including seven Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy—received a heartfelt send-off alongside Raphaël Guerreiro and Nicolas Jackson.
Bayern wasted no time asserting their dominance. Inside 10 minutes, Kane opened the scoring with a clinical finish from close range—his 34th Bundesliga goal of the season. Moments later, he doubled the lead with a stunning free-kick. Joshua Kimmich teed up the England captain, who drilled the ball through Köln's defensive wall, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot.
Köln briefly threatened a comeback when young winger Said El Mala produced a moment of brilliance. He dispossessed Jamal Musiala, sprinted 60 yards past several Bayern defenders, and calmly slotted past Manuel Neuer. It was an outstanding solo effort that silenced the home crowd—if only for a moment.
Bayern quickly restored their two-goal cushion in the 22nd minute. Tom Bischof unleashed a powerful strike from distance, notching his third Bundesliga goal of the season and putting the hosts firmly back in control.
Luis Díaz came close to adding to the tally with a long-range effort that was saved, before weaving past defenders and setting up Lennart Karl, who couldn't quite finish from close range. Kane then turned provider, threading a beautiful pass to Musiala, whose left-footed shot struck the post.
The second half saw Bayern continue to press. Karl hit the post again as he tried to steer the ball past the goalkeeper, while Musiala saw a fierce, deflected shot whistle just wide.
But Kane was far from finished. The England striker completed his hat-trick with yet another ruthless finish, proving once again why he is the most feared striker in Europe. The goal sealed a memorable campaign for Bayern, who ended the season on a high note—both for their departing heroes and their record-breaking attack.
