Champions Bayern Munich eased past VfB Stuttgart 2-1 on Saturday thanks to goals from Harry Kane and new signing Luis Diaz to lift the German Supercup.

Harry Kane and Luis Diaz scored as Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 2-1 away on Saturday to lift the German Super Cup for a 10th time. The match, which opens the German season with the league and cup winners facing off, was held for the first time since it was renamed for football legend Franz Beckenbauer, who died in 2024.

Luis Diaz paid tribute to Diogo Jota after scoring for Bayern Munich in Saturday's German Super Cup win over Stuttgart, with Harry Kane also chiming in.

Bayern restored their place at the pinnacle of German football under the direction of Vincent Kompany, accumulating 82 points and finishing 13 points ahead of Leverkusen. The Bavarians were outstanding in front of goal, finding the back of the net on 99 occasions, their joint second highest return in the league since 1971-72.

Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman is close to joining Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, with talks in the final stages, the German champions said on Friday ahead of Saturday's German SuperCup at VfB Stuttgart.

Pretenders to the crown Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and cup holders Stuttgart are priming themselves for a run at Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title after a frustrating summer transfer window for the Bavarian giants.
