"Following the recently concluded international break, on matchday three of the ongoing 2025/26 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich returned to domestic action by hosting Hamburger SV in front of a full house at the Allianz Arena. The home fans couldn't have asked for a better start as Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the third minute with a close-range rocket from the inside-right channel."
"Soon after, Alexsandar Pavlovic marked his return to the starting XI with a fine finish from even closer range to make it 2-0, following an excellent sequence of passes. After providing the assist for the second goal, Harry Kane then made it 3-0 from the penalty spot midway through the half. Luis Diaz put the result beyond doubt just before the half-hour mark when his long-range curling effort was deflected in past a hapless Daniel Heuer Fernandez in the Hamburg goal."
"In the second half, Kane scored Bayern's fifth goal, and his second of the match, with a clinical finish following a swift counterattack. From a game in which all of Die Roten's players impressed to varying degrees, let's take a look at three who, arguably, stood out the most in Saturday's victory over the team that just made its return to the top flight."
