🔥 In a thrilling Sunday showdown, Bayern Munich's dynamic duo, Harry Kane and Thomas Müller, brought the heat to secure a 2-0 victory over Freiburg in the Bundesliga.
Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot, netting his first Bundesliga goal of the season after winning a spot-kick when he headed the ball onto Freiburg defender Max Rosenfelder's outstretched arm. 💥
The drama unfolded as the referee initially didn't award the penalty but changed the decision after consulting VAR. Talk about tension! 😱
Club legend Thomas Müller made history, replacing new signing Michael Olise in the 59th minute to mark his record-breaking 710th appearance for Bayern Munich, surpassing the iconic Sepp Maier. 👑
Müller didn't just make history; he scored it! ⚽️ In the 78th minute, he masterfully controlled a cross from Serge Gnabry, deftly outmaneuvered Maximilian Eggestein, and slammed the ball past goalkeeper Florian Müller. That's how it's done! 💯
After the match, Müller shared, \"Records aren't so important for me, to be honest; instead, it's that I scored a really beautiful goal. Outstanding technique and then it goes in too, that's what's fun for me.\" We're with you, Müller! 🙌
This goal marks Müller's 150th in the Bundesliga and continues his streak of scoring in 16 consecutive German top-tier seasons since the 2009-10 campaign. Legend status confirmed! ⭐️
Deep into added time, new Bayern signing João Palhinha conceded a penalty for handball, but Freiburg's Lucas Höler fired over the bar, sparing Bayern any late-game drama. 😅
Vincent Kompany's first home game as Bayern coach couldn't have gone better, keeping a clean sheet and securing all three points. 🎯
Bayern are one of three Bundesliga teams to win their opening two games this season, along with Heidenheim and Leipzig, who ended champion Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 15-month unbeaten league run on Saturday. The race is on! 🏁
