Kane scores as Bayern thump Spurs in pre-season friendly - World
Kane, who is boyhood club Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer with 280 strikes in 435 matches, put Bayern in the lead after 12 minutes with a composed penalty box finish.
The England captain then had a chance to double Bayern's lead two minutes later when Joao Palhinha, who joined Spurs from Bayern on a season-long loan on Sunday, gave away a penalty.
Kane however slipped, blasting his shot well over the bar. It was the first time Kane failed to convert a spot kick since his miss in the 2022 World Cup quarter-final defeat to France.
Kingsley Coman added the home side's second with a superb curling shot from the edge of the box with 61 minutes gone.
Bayern teenagers Lennart Karl and Jonah Kusi-Asare both scored in the dying stages to complete the one-sided victory.
Kane joined Bayern in a 100 million euro (£87 million) transfer from Spurs in the summer of 2023.
The match was the Europa League winners' last chance to fine tune before next Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup clash with European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Spurs have had a mixed bag under new coach Thomas Frank this pre-season, beating London rivals Arsenal along with Reading, while being held to draws with Newcastle, Luton Town and Wycombe.

Atalanta Consider Fining Lookman
Rana Atef Once again the tensions between Serie A side Atalanta and Nigerian star Ademola Lookman witnessed more tensions after the player reportedly took personal leave and left Italy without the club's permission. The move of Lookman showed another protest of the management's refusal to approve his transfer to Inter Milan during the current summer window, according to Football Italia. Atalanta consider taking legal action against Lookman, including the imposition of a substantial fine. The roots of the dispute date back to last summer when the club rejected a €20 million offer from Paris Saint-Germain and convinced the player to stay—with a promise to facilitate his transfer this summer under two conditions he personally set: a move to a major European club and not to another Italian side. However, the club's refusal of Inter's offer has reignited the conflict. Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi emphasized that the club alone will determine the timing and valuation of any player sale. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Ter Stegen responds after Barcelona strips him of captaincy - World
Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen took to social media on Friday to defend himself after Barcelona started disciplinary proceedings that could allow them to terminate his contract. "In recent weeks, many things have been said about me - some of them entirely unfounded," he wrote on Instagram. "Therefore, I feel it is necessary to express my version of events respectfully, yet clearly." The club started disciplinary action on Tuesday and stripped the German of the club captaincy on Thursday. The dispute centres on the German's fitness after he underwent back surgery at the end of July. Local media reported earlier in the week that the 33-year-old had refused to cooperate and release his medical details so the club tried to have him classified by La Liga as a long-term injury, which would allow Barcelona to deduct part of his pay from their official wage bill. "I am fully willing to collaborate with the club's management to resolve this matter and to provide the requested authorisation," Ter Stegen wrote. With the new Liga season approaching, Barcelona are again struggling to satisfy Spanish financial fair play rules. If they cannot, they may not be able to register new players. Ter Stegen said if the club was in a financial bind, it should not blame his back problems. "I would also like to clarify that all of the club's signings and contract renewals were completed prior to my surgery," he wrote. "The decision to undergo surgery was fully approved by the club, and always with the intention of prioritising my health and long-term sporting career which of course are fully aligned with those of FCB to have myself available on the pitch as soon as possible to keep winning trophies." He added that his new surgery should not interfere with the "registration of other colleagues whom I greatly respect and look forward to share locker room with for many seasons". "My commitment to these colors remains absolute." Ter Stegen's place is under threat from one of the summer signings, 24-year-old Joan Garcia, and 35-year-old Wojciech Szczesny, the Polish veteran who has been rewarded with a contract extension for taking over during last season's Liga title-winning campaign. If the club pursues its disciplinary action, Ter Stegen, the last remaining member of Luis Enrique's 2015 European champion team, could faces heavy penalties under La Liga regulations, including the termination of his contract.
