Bayern Munich triumphs in the Supercup – Kane and Diaz shine!

On August 16, 2025, FC Bayern Munich celebrated another success in its impressive club history: The record champions beat VfB Stuttgart 2-1 in the Supercup and thus secured their 11th title in this competition, which is named after the legend Franz Beckenbauer. In an exciting game played at the MHP Arena, Bayern showed their strength, especially with new additions Harry Kane and Luis Diaz, who made a decisive contribution to the victory.

With a precise shot, Harry Kane scored the first goal of the game in the 18th minute, assisted by Luca Jaquez. In the 77th minute, it was 75 million purchase Luis Diaz who headed the ball to 2-0 after a flying cross from Serge Gnabry, thus scoring a goal in his first competitive game for Bayern. However, VfB Stuttgart didn't give up and was able to reduce the score again through Jamie Leweling in stoppage time, which kept the tension high until the final whistle.

Rivalry and development

The encounter between Bayern and Stuttgart was not just another title fight, but also part of a long rivalry. In recent years, Bayern Stuttgart have dominated the league, with four wins in their last five matches and an impressive goal difference of +8. Stuttgart last won 3-1 against Munich in a league game in May 2024. The teams competed against each other in their current form, with VfB going through a few changes during the short break and the rumor about Nick Woltemade's move to Munich heating up people's minds. Alexander Wehrle, CEO of VfB, made it clear that Woltemade will stay with VfB next season.

Bayern Munich has established itself as the undisputed top club in the German football landscape. In addition to the 34 national championships and 20 cup wins that represent Munich's records in Germany, the club has also caused a stir internationally with six UEFA Champions League titles. With a total of over 400,000 official members and more than 4,286 registered fan clubs, the club has an impressive base that continues to prepare itself for the challenges ahead.

Upcoming challenges

With a view to the upcoming Bundesliga season, which begins on Friday with a home game against RB Leipzig, Bayern now has the chance to continue their successful journey. As part of their ambitious plans under coach Vincent Kompany, who has been in charge since May 2024, yesterday's performance should be an encouraging start. Bavaria, whose financial strength is estimated at over 764.5 million euros in 2025, remains no stranger to the European market. This year, not only national but also international ambitions are at stake.

With a strong team performance and fresh talent in the ranks, the team around captain Manuel Neuer can go into the coming games with confidence. A look at the squad shows that the new additions Kane and Diaz will be of great importance in meeting the high expectations of their supporters.

It remains to be seen what will happen next for FC Bayern Munich and whether the combination of old veterans and new faces will lead the team to its next triumph. But there is no doubt for the fans: the passion for their club remains strong and the hunger for success is undiminished.
