    Amrul: Harry Kane bringing the Spurs curse with him...

  2. Bayern Munich 0-1 Leipzig

    Bayern have a bit of a goalkeeping issue this summer. Manuel Neuer is still injured and Yann Sommer left for Inter Milan, so 35-year-old Sven Ulreich is basically their only option.

    Thomas Tuchel says they have to find somebody who is good enough to be number one now but doesn't mind being on the bench when Neuer is back.

    Dani Olmo

    Leipzig take the lead. Bayern don't deal with a free-kick into the box and Dani Olmo slots the ball into the bottom corner from 10 yards.

    I think Harry Kane has made the correct decision.

    He had one year left on his contract and has now moved to a giant of a football club with a really, really good chance of winning the Champions League.

    He's going there to work under a very intelligent manager [in Thomas Tuchel] and to work alongside some excellent players.

    His career deserves some success.

    Who knows? He could spend two or three years there and come back to have another crack at beating the [Premier League scoring] record.

    Bayern Munich's issue last season was scoring goals, Harry Kane cored 30 league goals, which was more than Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiala and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting combined.

    You look at that Robert Lewandowski record, 43 goals in 34 games, I'd say that is under threat, it is doable for Kane.

    Bayern Munich now go up with Man City as favourites for the Champions League, that's what signing Harry Kane does.

  10. Bayern Munich v Leipzig (19:45 BST)

    Harry Kane could lift the first trophy of his career tonight, albeit a minor one in Germany's Community Shield.

    Bayern Munich's new star striker Harry Kane is on the bench for his first game. I'm sure we'll see him tonight.

    Konrad Laimer, a summer signing from Leipzig, makes his debut against his old side.

    Leipzig have two new signings in the starting XI and four on the bench, including Liverpool loanee Fabio Carvalho.

    Bayern Munich: Ulreich, Pavard, Upamecano, De Ligt, Davies, Kimmich, Laimer, Sane, Musiala, Gnabry, Tel. Subs: Hulsmann, Kim, Mazraoui, Goretzka, Gravenberch, Kratzig, Pavlovic, Kane, Coman.

    Leipzig: Blaswich, Henrichs, Simakan, Orban, Raum, Schlager, Kampl, Simons, Olmo, Werner, Openda. Subs: Zingerle, Klostermann, Lukeba, Carvalho, Forsberg, Seiwald, Novoa, Poulsen, Sesko.

    Hello and welcome to live text commentary of the German Super Cup.

    I could pretend we always cover this game... but it's because Harry Kane is there.

    Kane, England's all-time top scorer, Tottenham's all-time top scorer, is on the bench and could make his Bayern debut hours after joining them for £86.4m.
