Harry Kane scored three times as Bayern München beat 1. FC Köln 5-1 at the Allianz Arena on 16 May 2026. Kane struck twice inside the opening 13 minutes, added a third in the 69th minute, and made Bayern's title-day celebration look pretty straightforward.

Kane set the tone, Kimmich kept feeding him

The other useful part for Bayern was how the goals were created. Joshua Kimmich supplied two assists for Kane, while Tom Bischof scored Bayern's third in the 22nd minute with Lennart Karl providing the assist. Bischof's 8.3 rating was the best among Bayern players on the night.

Kane's league output has been absurd all season anyway. His 36 Bundesliga goals make him the clear headliner of Bayern's attack, and the performance against Köln fit the pattern rather than breaking it.

What the result says about Bayern's season

[Vincent Kompany] said, "FC Bayern’s Bundesliga season ends soon" and this game had that feel from the first whistle. Bayern finished top of the Bundesliga with 86 points from 33 matches, and their 117 league goals are the division's highest ever total.

Köln finished 14th with 32 points and conceded 58 goals in 33 league games, so this was always a rough matchup once Bayern got on the front foot. Michael Olise has also been a major part of the attacking spread all season, with 14 goals and 19 assists of his own.

The final scoreline was not subtle, but the main story was still Kane. Bayern leave the season with a title, a 5-1 win, and a striker who finished the day with a hat-trick and 36 Bundesliga goals.
