BAYERN MARCH ON — GLADBACH SHORT-HANDED IN BUNDESLIGA SHOWDOWN

Bayern Munich made it 13 wins from 13 this season with a 3-0 victory over Gladbach. Goals from Kimmich, Guerreiro & teen Lennart Karl sealed the win after a Castrop red card. RB Leipzig thrashed Augsburg 6-0 to stay 2nd.

With goals from Joshua Kimmich, Raphael Guerreiro, and teenager Lennart Karl, Bayern improved to 13 wins from 13 games in all competitions this season.

Harry Kane, who had a goal in the second half called off for offside, failed to score for just the second time this season.

After a VAR review, Gladbach's Jens Castrop was sent off after sinking his studs into Luis Diaz's shin with 19 minutes remaining.

Bayern, who made six changes, including replacing captain Manuel Neuer in goal with Jonas Urbig, struggled to maintain flow against their last-place rivals despite having a one-man advantage.

After 64 minutes, Kimmich gave the visitors the lead by crashing through a packed penalty box, and five minutes later, Guerreiro scored another goal by sweeping in to complete a beautiful team play.

With fifteen minutes remaining, Kevin Stoeger's penalty kick against the post severely crushed Gladbach's hopes of winning the game.

Karl, 17, finished the game for the reigning champs with a spectacular curling goal with nine minutes left.

With six different goal scorers, RB Leipzig easily defeated Augsburg 6-0, solidifying their hold on second place, four points clear of third-place Stuttgart.

Assan Ouedraogo, Christoph Baumgartner, Antonio Nusa, Romulo, Yan Diomande, and Castello Lukeba all scored goals as Leipzig handed Augsburg their biggest league home loss ever.

Leipzig has won 19 of a possible 21 points in seven games since falling to Bayern 6-0 in the season opener, giving up only three goals.

Thanks to a double from Jonathan Burkardt, Eintracht Frankfurt overcame Liverpool's 5-1 Champions League thrashing on Wednesday to defeat St Pauli 2-0 at home.

Burkardt, a striker for Germany, has six goals in seven league games this season. He also scored a double against Freiburg last week.

In other news, Wolfsburg defeated Hamburg 1-0, with Adam Daghim scoring the lone goal, to win their first game since August.

For the third consecutive occasion, Hamburg's winger Ransford-Yeboah Koenigsdoerffer missed a penalty kick in the first half.

Lowly Heidenheim lost to Hoffenheim 3-1.

Borussia Dortmund may move up to third place in Saturday's late game if they defeat Cologne at home.

BAYERN'S BOLD MOVE: EBERL PLANS JANUARY TALKS TO SNATCH MARC GUEHI FREE AGENT

Marc Guehi is set to be a 2026 free agent after refusing a new Palace deal. Bayern Munich is pushing hard, with director Max Eberl set for direct talks on January 1.

Crystal Palace Star Refuses Deal, Eyes 2026 Exit

Sky Sports is all over Marc Guehi's future, and things are getting clearer. The Crystal Palace captain is one of the Premier League's most solid defenders. It looks like he'll be a hot free agent in the summer of 2026. Word is that sporting director Max Eberl already met with the player’s agent and is planning more talks. This shows how serious Bayern Munich is about him as a long-term option.

Dayot Upamecano's contract is up in the air, so Bayern is getting ready, and Guehi is high on their list. Sky Sports says Eberl will have new talks on January 1, this time with the Englishman himself, a big step in chasing him.

Contract Trouble Creates Big Chance

Guehi isn't signing a new deal with Crystal Palace. His contract ends in 2026, which has given Europe's top teams a rare chance. Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are all watching. But Bayern is moving the fastest.

He's been consistent, mature, and a leader, making him important at Palace, even though he's said he's leaving. Sky Sports mentioned he continues to give his all for the Eagles, like when he scored the winning goal in the 2-1 derby win at Fulham.

Guehi's Growth Under Oliver Glasner

Under Oliver Glasner, Guehi has gone from a good defender to a real Premier League star. He's great at spotting danger early, staying calm under pressure, and leading the defence. This has been key to Palace's quick improvement this season.

Guehi's story, from Chelsea academy player to Palace icon, is already amazing. He signed for about 23.3 million euros in 2021 and has played 146 games since then, with eight goals and seven assists. He's also played for England 26 times, and that number will certainly go up.

Someone close to the talks said Guehi wants to know what's happening early in the year. Bayern is being respectful and has big plans, which he likes. This fits with his reputation as someone who values stability and planning for the future.

Big Battle for a Premier League Leader

The fight to get Guehi is becoming a major story this window. Bayern is making a strong push, but Liverpool and other big teams are also interested, keeping things interesting.

Sky Sports' reporting asks a good question: Who will win the race in Guehi poker, as they call it? He can start talking to teams in January, so the big moves are about to happen.

ANALYTICAL: WHY HARRY KANE'S COMMITMENT TO BAYERN IS DEEPER THAN SCORING GOALS

Harry Kane has rejected his £56M release clause, prioritising Champions League success with Bayern Munich. Contract extension talks are expected to begin soon.

Kane's Trophy Focus Shuts Down Barcelona, England Return

Harry Kane is having an amazing season with Bayern Munich.

The 32-year-old has already scored 28 goals in all competitions, but he does more than just score; he's involved in every game.

He seems like a new player this season, and Bayern thinks he can keep playing at this level for a while.

Harry Kane wants to stay at Bayern

Kane has said he loves his time in Germany and wants to win trophies with Bayern.

Some thought he might want to return to England to break Alan Shearer's goal-scoring record.

But he’s more interested in winning trophies like the Champions League, which he believes he can do with Bayern.

Kane had a £56m release clause in his contract, but it's expiring at the end of January.

He has decided not to use this clause because winning with Bayern is his priority.

Recently, Spanish media said Barcelona might try to sign Kane as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who might become a free agent next summer.

But I've learned that this move was never really considered.

Bayern's plans for Kane

I mentioned before that contract talks would only start after January, when his release clause ends.

The striker has two years left on his contract, and everyone seems relaxed about it.

Kane might even wait until after the World Cup to discuss a one-year extension until 2028.

Kane recently said he expects contract talks with Bayern to start soon and that fans shouldn't worry about his future.
