      But heavy snow has forced the game to be called off.
      Bayern’s CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: “We very much regret that we have to postpone the match, but the safety of our fans and the supporters of Union Berlin has absolute priority.
      “In addition, access to the Allianz Arena is not guaranteed due to numerous roads closures and various public transport cancellations.
      “We will inform you about a possible new date as soon as possible.”
      Safety risks and the traffic situation were cited for the reason to cancel.
      Buses and trains were cancelled with roads and motorways closed.
      The underground line U6 – which runs from Frottmaning to the Allianz Arena – has been suspended. 
      Munich police even recommend that people do not leave their homes.

      The visitors tried to play out from the back as goalkeeper Heuer Fernandes passed the ball to Stephan Ambrosius who then switched it to Guilherme Ramos.
      Ramos, though, delivered a poor pass back to goal which wrong-footed Hamburg’s keeper.
      In an attempt to prevent the ball from going out for a corner-kick, Fernandes tried to clear it but somehow lashed it into his own net even though he was only a yard out.
      Fans couldn’t believe what they witnessed as they stormed social media stating this might have been the worst own goal in history.

      One fan tweeted: “Hamburg have just scored the worst ever own goal. I actually cannot fathom that.
      “Top of the table clashes have become a bit ridiculous to watch sometimes, attritional and defined by errors.”
      Another commented: “Hamburg have just conceded possibly the worst own goal of all time.”
      A third wrote: “The Hamburg keepers had a mare.”

      Finally, this fan posted: “Hamburg have pulled off an incredible own goal in the derby against St Pauli.”
      Fernandes’ blushes were saved as Hamburg came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 and maintain a three-point deficit between them and top-of-the-table St. Pauli. More

      But they still put in the work 24 hours out from the match as they took to the training pitch for a session.
      The temperature in Munich fell as low as -3C degrees on Tuesday.
      And chilly England captain Kane, 30, wrapped up in multiple layers so that only his eyes were visible.
      Former Manchester City man Leroy Sane, 27, was another player barely recognisable as he covered up.

      The ex-Tottenham man has made a remarkable start to life in a Bayern shirt and is on course to break a major record in his first season at the club.

      Kane has scored a sensational 22 goals in 17 games in all competitions, including 18 in 12 Bundesliga matches.
      It means he is on course to break Robert Lewandowski’s single-season record of 41 goals in Germany’s top flight.
      But Bayern are still not top of the Bundesliga table despite winning 10 and drawing two of their opening 12 matches.
      That is because Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen have dropped just two points, giving them a two-point lead heading into December. More

      His strike extends his lead as the league’s top scorer as Kane poked home after an effort was cleared off the line.
      It means the summer signing from Tottenham is the highest-scoring Englishman ever in the German top flight and the first player to ever reach 18 goals from the first 12 games of a Bundesliga season.
      Kane said afterwards: “It was a really good game for us today.
      “Some people look at the result and might have expected a little more. But it was a fantastic game from everyone. We could have scored three goals in the first half alone.

      “The result was the most important thing. It never looked dangerous, which is a good sign.”
      His goal haul surpasses the 17 notched in a single season by Three Lions’ legend Kevin Keegan and England winger Jadon Sancho.
      Keegan spent three years in Germany with Hamburg, winning two Ballon d’Ors during that time.
      His 32 Bundesliga goals included 17 during the 1978/79 season as he fired his side to the title.

      That record was equalled in 2019/20 as Sancho paired 17 assists with an equal number of goals across 32 league appearances for Dortmund.
      He joined Manchester United a year later, clearing the path for Kane to break the record this season.
      As well as 18 league goals, he has also found the net four times in as many Champions League matches.
      Kane previously set a new record for the quickest player to reach 15 Bundesliga goals in a season, but has since been surpassed, as well as outscoring last season’s golden boot winner.
      He is on course to break more records, with Robert Lewandowski’s 22 goals in the first half of the 2020/21 season now in his sights.
      Bayern have four more league matches remaining before the winter break.

      While a second fumed: “These are signings should have made in the previous decade.”
      A third blasted: “In a team that has no physicality or energy, Erik wanted to sign a player who’s legs have gone? Luckily transfers wont be in his hands soon.”
      Another added: “Just need to purchase a good walking stick.”

      A fresh report has claimed that German heavyweights Bayern and Dortmund have withdrawn themselves from the race to sign Chalobah.
      German sports journalist Florian Plettenberg confirmed both clubs are “out of the race for Trevoh Chalobah” and they are “not planning his transfer in winter.”
      Chalobah has still not played a minute for the Blues this term due to an issue with his hamstring.
      The ex-England U21 international is expected to return at the end of January the report claims.

      The centre-back was heavily linked to a move away from the Premier League despite having another four years left on his contract.
      Bayern was near to snatching Chalobah in the summer but a fee was unable to be agreed upon between the Blues and Bayern.
      However, it seems unlikely that Bayern will pursue the Blues defender again in the January window.
      Dortmund will continue to look to bring in full-back reinforcements in the new year but without the Englishman on their radar.
