Lothar Matthäus expressed his belief that Harry Kane will extend his stay at Bayern Munich beyond his current contract expiring in 2027.

Dominance of Bayern's Women's Team

Alphonso Davies' Drama

German football legend Lothar Matthäus assumes that Harry Kane will commit to Bayern Munich for longer than his current contract, valid until 2027, anticipates. Matthäus argues that the Englishman, by serially winning trophies in Germany, has no reason to return to the British Isles. These words cut short speculation about a potential transfer of the striker to FC Barcelona, which was mentioned by politicians aspiring to power in the Catalan club. A historic success moved closer for Bayern's women's team, which defeated VfL Wolfsburg 4:1 in a league top clash. Thanks to a brace from Jovana Damnjanovic and goals from Georgia Stanway and Klara Bühl, the Munich women increased their lead in the table to 14 points, putting their rivals in an almost hopeless situation in the title race. The match at the Bayern Campus was watched by a full crowd of 2,500 spectators. FC Bayern München has dominated German football for years, but the development of the women's section in the last decade became a club priority, which translated into dethroning Wolfsburg from the top of the Frauen-Bundesliga. In the men's team, the mood is clouded by news of Alphonso Davies' injury. Davies suffered a muscle fiber injury in the 3:2 win against Eintracht Frankfurt, which is all the more painful as the Canadian had just returned to play after an almost nine-month break caused by a serious knee injury. Meanwhile, Jamal Musiala, slowly returning to play after a leg injury, expressed optimism about his return to the national team for the March training camp. In parallel, Vincent Kompany maintains his stance on the fight against racism, though he stated he does not want the topic to dominate the club's daily life. The coach, however, hopes for a lasting change in awareness within the football environment. In the Bundesliga's second tier, spectacular changes occurred. Schalke 04 returned to the top spot after a wild match against 1. FC Magdeburg, which ended 5:3. Veteran Edin Džeko played a key role in the victory, with his goal and assist igniting hopes among fans from Gelsenkirchen for a swift promotion. Result of the Frauen-Bundesliga Top Clash: Bayern Munich: 4, VfL Wolfsburg: 1 14 points — is the lead Bayern's women's team has over Wolfsburg Goal Spectacle in the 2. Bundesliga: FC Schalke 04 5:3 1. FC Magdeburg
