How to watch Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich in the UK as Harry Kane closes in on first trophy
Harry Kane has a huge opportunity to put one hand on his first trophy when Bayern Munich face Bayer Leverkusen this Saturday. The England captain has infamously never lifted a piece of silverware in his career but will never have a better chance to win a league title. Kane’s goal proved decisive but Celtic still have hopeAFP Kane missed out on every avenue for glory during his first season with Bayern last campaign following his move from Tottenham. His side were beaten in the German Super Cup final before missing out on the Bundesliga title to unbeaten champions Leverkusen – before then coming runners-up at Euro 2024 with England. However, Bayern can extend their gap at the top of the table to 11 points with just 12 matches remaining by beating nearest challengers Leverkusen. Vincent Kompany‘s side have won seven straight Bundesliga games since a surprise defeat to Mainz before the Germany winter break. Xabi Alonso‘s champions remain the only team with a realistic hope of overhauling Bayern, and a victory cuts the gap to five points. Bayern warmed up for the table-topping clash with a vital 2-1 Champions League playoff away win over Celtic. Meanwhile, Leverkusen enjoyed a free week after qualifying inside the top eight during the league phase of the competition. Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich: How to follow This huge Bundesliga clash will take place on Saturday, February 15. Kick-off at the BayArena is scheduled for 5:30pm UK time.
