Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has backed the German champions to challenge strongly for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after making a dominant start to their campaign.
Softfootball reports that Kane considers Bayern among the leading contenders for the expanded tournament, which brings together 32 clubs from across the world.
The Bundesliga giants began their campaign with a remarkable 10-0 victory over Auckland City. The result immediately demonstrated the attacking quality available to Vincent Kompany’s team, with Bayern producing an overwhelming performance from the opening minutes.
Kane was among the scorers as the German side set a new record for the biggest win in the competition’s history.
Bayern entered the tournament after reclaiming the Bundesliga title and will now attempt to add global silverware to their domestic success. Kane has also enjoyed another prolific season since joining the club from Tottenham.
The England captain’s goals are expected to be central to Bayern’s ambitions, particularly when they face stronger opposition later in the competition.
The German club have the experience and squad depth required for a long tournament. Bayern’s immediate objective will be to maintain their momentum in Group C and secure qualification for the knockout phase.
