Bayern Munich have claimed their 11th German Supercup title with a 2-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the first-ever edition of the newly renamed Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. It was a night of legacy, new beginnings, and a tribute to the late football legend.
Kane Opens the Scoring
The MHP Arena in Stuttgart was buzzing with anticipation, and Bayern delivered early. In the 18th minute, a defensive error by Stuttgart gifted Harry Kane a chance — and the English striker did what he does best. One touch, one look, and the ball was in the net.
That’s six goals in five games for Kane this season. He’s on fire.
Luis Díaz Scores on Debut
New signing Luis Díaz marked his debut in style. In the 77th minute, he connected beautifully with a pinpoint cross from Serge Gnabry, heading home Bayern’s second goal of the night. It was a confident, emotional moment — Díaz pointed to the sky in celebration, paying tribute in his own way.
A dream debut. A Bayern statement.
Manuel Neuer – Still the Wall
At 39, Manuel Neuer rolled back the years. The veteran goalkeeper made several critical saves, including two close-range stops that kept Stuttgart at bay during their late surge. His performance earned him the Man of the Match award — and rightly so.
Even when Stuttgart pulled one back through Jamie Leweling in injury time, Bayern’s win was never really in doubt.
A Tribute Worthy of the Name
This wasn’t just another trophy. It was the first Supercup played under its new title, the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, honoring the German icon who passed away earlier this year.
From the pre-match silence to Bayern’s determined performance, the night was steeped in emotion and respect.
