Kane outlines Bayern Munich’s priorities before Borussia Dortmund clash

Published on: 25 October 2026

Harry Kane says Bayern Munich must balance preparations for their Bundesliga meeting with Borussia Dortmund with the demands of a German Cup tie against Magdeburg.

Bayern Munich will host Borussia Dortmund in the eighth round of the Bundesliga on 31 October. The fixture will be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Kane highlighted the importance of recovery, with Bayern also facing Magdeburg in the German Cup on Wednesday. The forward said the team would need to pay particular attention to restoring their fitness between the two matches.

Both sides have made identical starts to the Bundesliga season. After seven rounds, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are each on 17 points and lead the league table.

The meeting at the Allianz Arena will therefore bring together the two teams currently level at the top of the standings.
