Bayern Munich defeats Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in pre-season friendly

Bayern Munich delivered a commanding performance to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in a high-profile pre-season friendly at the Allianz Arena on August 7, 2025.

Harry Kane, facing his former team for the first time since his transfer, opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a clinical finish following a pass from Michael Olise. The England striker later failed to convert a penalty after Joao Palhinha fouled Josip Stanisic, sending his shot high over the bar. Kingsley Coman extended Bayern’s lead just after the hour mark, curling the ball past Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario.

Bayern’s dominance continued as 17-year-old Lennart Karl made it 3-0 with a powerful strike from outside the box. Jonah Kusi-Asare sealed the rout, finishing from a tight angle near the end of the match.

Tottenham struggled to build any attacking momentum and were repeatedly stymied by Bayern’s high pressing and tactical fouls. Guglielmo Vicario made several crucial saves to prevent a heavier defeat for the Premier League side.

The match featured the debut of Bayern’s newest signing, Luis Diaz, who made his first start since joining from Liverpool. Both teams used the fixture as their final tune-up before competitive action resumes, with Bayern displaying sharp form and Tottenham left with lingering questions heading into the Premier League season.

Bayern’s comprehensive victory offers an early statement of intent ahead of the new campaign, while Spurs will look to address their defensive and creative issues before their league opener.
