It was a Matchday 6 fixture in the 2026-27 season, Germany's top flight. Diaz gave Bayern the lead in the 12th minute to make it 1-0. By the 34th minute, the home side were 3-0 up and in full control. Bundesliga.com
Leipzig had no answer to the pace of it. Bayern moved the ball quickly. They pressed in packs and kept finding space behind the defence.
Kane struck in the second half to cap his century of league games for the club. FC Bayern Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise were also on the scoresheet in the rout. Leipzig pulled one back, but the night belonged to Bayern's attack.
It is becoming a familiar story. Bayern beat Leipzig 6-0 in the Bundesliga opener on 22 August 2025, when Kane scored a second-half hat-trick in 14 minutes. They beat them again 2-0 in the cup quarter-final on 11 February 2026, with Kane and Diaz scoring within three minutes of each other to reach the semi-finals. Reuters
What makes this stand out is the spread of it. Diaz took the headlines with three goals. Kane reached a landmark with another. Yet Pavlovic and Olise joined in too, and that shared scoring load is what turns a good team into a noisy, joyful one to watch.
