      Up next for Werder Bremen
      SC Freiburg are next in line for Werder Bremen, away from home this time in a game that should definitely be easier than what they faced today.
      Even though they were dominated, they should be able to put this performance to bed, and take the positives before moving on to next week.
      xG is one stat that will need improving for Werder, as they failed to capitalise on the chances they created today, and more chances will lead to more goals for Fullkrug and Ducksch in the frontline.

      Up next for Bayern
      It’s Augsburg at home up next for Bayern Munich, and they will be looking to continue their bright start to the season next weekend.
      No doubt Harry Kane will be back on the team sheet and looking to score on his home debut…
      Match stats:
      Munich dominated the game, as the match stats show, and in the end the scoreline reflected that.
      Even though Bremen had a good spell when the score was 0-1 at the start of the second half, they failed to capitalise and Bayern piled on the goals late on in the game.
      The match stats as Bayern Munich beat Werder Bremen
      Man of the match
      Pace, finishing, skill and footballing intelligence – Leroy Sane has got the lot.
      Underrated by Manchester City, the winger wasn’t deemed necessary for Pep Guardiola, and given their success it is hard to argue against his decision.
      Now however, he is being linked with a return to Manchester, and tonight’s performance may have added a few more millions to his price tag.
      Chances came his way, and he dispatched two of them with relative ease, in a performance in which the Bremen defence simply could not handle him.
      He takes the SunSport man of the match award tonight, and looks set for a sensational season once again.
      How was Harry Kane?
      Sensational.
      Quality in every aspect of his play, he showed his class when it comes to finishing, desire and link-up play.
      Unreal was his work ethic, which we are so used to seeing in England was on display, as he was defending his own box at points.
      It was a well rounded, solid showing – not his dazzling best – but very good nonetheless.
      Debut delight for Harry Kane, his goal was a simple finish after a great pass from Alphonso Davies. Superb showing.

      Werder Bremen 0-4 Bayern Munich
      FT. The referee blows the full-time whistle here at the Weserstadion.
      Stay with us as we have full analysis of the game coming to you next!
      Werder Bremen 0-4 Bayern Munich
      90+4. IT’S FOUR!
      Star boy Mathys Tel smashes home from inside the box, and Leroy Sane’s reaction says it all. He is impressed.
      What a strike that is on his right foot from just inside the box.
      Great hit. 0-4!
      Werder Bremen 0-3 Bayern Munich
      90. GOAL! Leroy Sane at the double!
      Muller and Choupo Moting combine brilliantly inside the box against a tired Bremen defence before the ball is squared to Leroy Sane, who taps home with ease.
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      88. Choupo-Moting does really well to work the ball out from the back, and switches the play to the right-hand side.
      Bayern are just going to see this one out now.
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      86. A huge chance straight after the changes for Mazraoui!
      He should be squaring the ball there, but is greedy, goes for the shot and misses it.
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      84. Harry Kane is going to be replaced here by Mathys Tel.
      Thomas Muller is coming on also for Jamal Musiala.
      The final change is Choupo Moting, who is coming on in place of Kingley Coman.
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      82. Harry Kane is down, and it looks like he just has a bit of cramp.
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      80. A couple more changes for Werder Bremen here as we enter the final ten minutes.
      Leon Opitz and Dawid Kownacki are replacing Anthony Jung and Jens Stage.
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      76. A foul by Jamal Musiala on Romano Schmid gives Bremen a free-kick from distance.
      Will they go all out for the comeback now? Or settle at 0-2?
      Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
      74. BUT NOT ANYMORE! GOAL! HARRY KANE!
      Alphonso Davies plays a lovely ball into the English striker, and he has plenty of space to just roll it into the back of the net.
      Great finish. Thomas Tuchel is beaming.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      73. After Sane opened the scoring early on, not too many would have expected that it would still be 1-0 after 73 minutes.
      Bayern have not killed this game off perhaps as they should have, and have missed a host of chances.
      There is a still a chance that Bremen get a result out of this.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      70. Kingsley Coman plays a ball into Harry Kane in the middle of the box.
      The England striker gets a touch on it, but it isn’t enough to direct the ball goalwards.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      68. A few changes here:
      Matthijs de Ligt comes on for Kim Min-jae.
      Christian Gross is on for Senne Lynen.
      And Romano Schmid comes on for Leonardo Bittencourt.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      66. Musiala dances with the ball on the edge of the box before finding Kingsley Coman.
      He plays a nice reverse pass to Joshua Kimmich on the edge of the box, but he fires the chance wide.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      64. Mazraoui is down after he is caught off the ball on a dangerous Bayern break.
      It looks as though he will be fine to carry on.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      60. Substitute for Werder Bremen.
      Oliver Burke comes on in the right back position for Mitchell Weiser.
      The former is traditionally a right midfielder, but will be better at dealing with the pace of Alphonso Davies on the left side.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      58. Kingsley Coman hits the post!
      So close for the French winger!
      Davies finds him on the left side of the 18-yard box, he turns and hits a shot towards the far right side of the goal.
      It is low and hard, but cannons back out off the post.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      57. It’s an awful lot noisier here than in the first half at the Weserstadion.
      That is a reflection of Bremen getting right back into this game and showing some fight in the second half.
      Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich
      55. A yellow card for Kim Min Jae after a late challenge is followed by one for Senne Lynen of Werder Bremen.

      Ahead of the match, boss Thomas Tuchel said: “There’s a lot of things going on around a transfer of this size – a lot of noise, distraction going on.
      “But once he steps out on the pitch I feel he will be very composed and very calm.
      “I feel he has enjoyed training and being on the pitch with the guys was pretty impressive.
      “We managed to sign the skipper from England so this is kind of what you expect – but it’s still impressive when you see it and get it in real life.”
      The German, 49, then added: “I have a big hope that Harry is the kind of guy that adapts very fast. He will be the kind of No9 up front, a fixed point so players around him will adapt fast and I’m pretty sure our players will adapt and become better.
      “He will affect the defence. The opposition will focus on him so he will open spaces. He is not only a No9 he can be between a 9 and 10 in the half spaces.
      “He gives us a lot of options and he has all the time to fully adapt but I’m sure he will.”
      Asked about having to deal with pressure, Tuchel added: “I don’t think it is going to be for the first time in his career he has had pressure so he will have to deal with that transfer in his performance and stay loose.
      “It is not about life or death. The game is a competitive game and he has proved for 10 years how good he is.”

      “It is not about life or death. The game is a competitive game and he has proved for 10 years how good he is.”
      Kane has joined the Bavarians after spending over ten years in the Tottenham Hotspur first team making 435 appearances.
      He also leaves as the club’s all-time top goal scorer having netted 280 times for the Lilywhites, 14 more than Jimmy Greaves.
      Despite his impressive record, the 30-year-old will be searching for his first career trophy during his spell in Germany.
      He was unable to lift any silverware during his time in North London and will be hoping that things will be different with 32-time Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
      Kane and his new teammates failed to do that immediately after losing in the DFL-Supercup, but the star striker seems to be calm about his new side succeeding.
      Speaking following the loss in his first press conference he said: “I wanted to come here and win last night but that wasn’t the case. It’s no time to panic, it’s a long season ahead. Thank you to the fans, hopefully I can give them some reasons to cheer over the season.” More

      De Gea, 32, is understood to be on the radar of several Saudi Pro League clubs – although reports in Germany suggest he could end up in Bavaria.
      Sport claim the German champions are locked in talks with the Spain international over a free transfer to the Allianz Arena.
      But they claim there is a major stumbling block in the deal.
      De Gea’s wage demands are said to be too high for the Bundesliga big boys.

      The Spaniard was Manchester United’s top earner before leaving the Theatre of Dreams earlier this summer – taking home a whopping £375,000 a week.
      Bayern are said to be exploring a number of options for a back-up keeper for Manuel Neuer, who is still recovering from his freak injury.
      The Germany international broke his right leg last December in a skiing accident, snapping his tibia and fibula.
      Neuer, 37, immediately underwent surgery but his recovery is said to have stalled.

      But it was not the start he would have wanted as he came off the bench in a 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.
      And it has now come to light that there is a major issue with the white strip which Kane pulled on for his debut.
      During the Leipzig loss, it was clear Bayern’s away kit was not effectively absorbing heat from the players as their skin was visible underneath.
      Footy Headlines have described the jersey as “sticking to their bodies like plastic bags”.

      They also claim the strip has “poor breathability”.
      It is believed this was exacerbated by the 80 per cent humidity in Munich on Saturday night.
      But it did not go unnoticed by those on social media as one person said: “What are those Bayern shirts made of? Pillows?!
      “Everyone is drenched in sweat and they’re totally see-through.”

      Thomas Tuchel APOLOGISES to Harry Kane after ‘very bitter’ 3-0 mauling on Bayern Munich debut

      A hat-trick from Dani Olmo saw off Bayern comfortably as Kane’s wait for silverware continued.
      Youngsters Mathys Tel started up front instead of the England captain, who was a substitute after officially completing his £104million move earlier that morning.
      Kane eventually made his debut, coming off the bench after 63 minutes.
      At that point, Bayern were already 2-0 down as the shell-shocked ex-Tottenham man watched on.

      And just five minutes into his first appearance RB Leipzig got a third goal.
      A fuming Tuchel ripped into his squad and apologised to Kane during his post-match interview.
      He said: “I have no explanation at the moment. We’re conceding the easiest of goals.
      “It’s like we haven’t done anything for four weeks.

      “What we’ve shown today has nothing to do with how we trained, the form, the atmosphere. It’s alarming, just alarming.
      “I’m just sorry for him [Kane].
      “He probably thinks we haven’t trained for four weeks.
      “Our performance today had nothing to do with what we set out to do. It’s a very bitter evening, I’m sorry.
      “We were puzzled. I don’t know why. It’s a mental thing. I have no idea. I have no solution right now.
      “I’m dismayed and extremely disappointed. Our style of play wasn’t recognisable.”
      Bayern struggled in periods last season, which led to previous boss Julian Nagelsmann getting sacked and replaced by Tuchel.
      The ex-Chelsea gaffer managed to win the league title last term in a dramatic final-day, but the Bavarian giants’ performances were not convincing.
      Kane’s name was sung by supporters at the Allianz Arena yesterday and he will be hopeful of a better result next week when their league campaign starts versus Werder Bremen.

      And he was straight into Bayern’s squad for the Supercup clash with RB Leipzig.
      Kane came off the bench for the last half an hour as his debut unravelled into nothing short of a nightmare.
      Dani Olmo’s first half brace gave Leipzig a commanding lead before Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel eventually opted to bring on his new ace in the 64th minute.
      But moments after coming on Kane saw his side concede a penalty a following a handball in the area from Noussair Mazraoui.

      Kane is typically in the refs ear about such situations immediately fighting his teams case.
      However, as he approached the ref Kane seemed to remember there was a language barrier.
      He then proceeded to watch on as his team-mates protested the penalty – which was converted by Olmo to complete his hat-trick.
      And fans were quick to react to the awkward moment, with one tweeting: “Kane went to complain to the ref about the penalty decision but he remembered he can’t speak German 😭😭.”
