Kane scoreless as Bayern draws in Klassiker and AC Milan beats city rival Inter

Harry Kane failed to score in his first game since winning the Ballon d’Or as Bayern Munich gave up a late goal to draw with Borussia Dortmund 2-2 in the German Klassiker on Saturday.

After scoring 73 times for club and country in the 2025-26 season and his “magical” award win, Kane switched focus back to soccer but had a rare off-day which left Bayern and Dortmund level on points at the top of the Bundesliga.

“It’s something you have to deal with when you’re at the top, deal with the emotions, deal with everything that comes with it,” Kane said. “I felt like I handled it well. Of course not the best day today, but that’s life, you move on.”

Elsewhere in Europe, Christian Pulisic’s goal set AC Milan on course for a 3-1 win against Inter Milan in the latest edition of their city rivalry, there were losses for both Manchester teams, and Barcelona bounced back from two bruising losses by dismantling Alaves 6-1.

Lots of ceremony for Kane but no goal

Bayern honored Kane ahead of kickoff as he showed off the trophy with his family on the field to cheers from the crowd. “The support you’ve shown me since I arrived has been incredible,” he told the fans.

Kane hit a penalty against the crossbar and hit the post on another chance, but did set up Bayern’s second goal with a smart header that left Dayot Upamecano an easy finish. Fabio Silva canceled that out with an 89th-minute leveler for Dortmund.

There were injury concerns, too, for Bayern as Michael Olise, Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry all went off hurt.

Bayern was without coach Vincent Kompany, who was resting after he was released from hospital following a sudden collapse last week.

Pulisic and Moreira shine in AC Milan derby win

Diego Moreira weighed in with two assists and a goal in an impressive first half for the Belgium international as Milan inflicted the first defeat of the season on Inter.

Moreira whipped in a cross for Pulisic to head Milan into the lead in the fourth minute and delivered the corner from which Adrien Rabiot doubled the Rossoneri’s advantage just six minutes later.

Bastoni pulled one back for Inter but Moreira got on the scoresheet himself with a free kick shortly before halftime.

Milan moved up to fourth, four points behind joint leaders Inter and Lazio, which can move clear atop Serie A at home to Cagliari on Sunday.

Pulisic penned a five-year contract extension with the club on Friday through 2031. Third-placed Roma beat struggling Udinese 5-2. Bologna beat Monza 2-1.

Barcelona takes back top spot from Atletico

Lamine Yamal and Raphinha scored twice each as Barcelona cruised to a 6-1 win over Alaves and took back top spot in La Liga from Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona was coming off losses to Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid but victory never seemed in doubt against an overmatched Alaves. Raphinha moved to 15 goals from 10 La Liga games, four ahead of Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe. Anthony Gordon and Fermín López also scored for Barcelona.

Atletico was on top for only a few hours after beating Levante 2-0 earlier.

Left back Alejandro Grimaldo seized on a missed interception in the Levante defense to get Atletico started with a goal in the 36th minute, then Giuliano Simeone finished off an incisive team move for the second. Barcelona faces Atletico next week.

Manchester glum after United and City lose

In the English Premier League, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick’s job was under yet more pressure after a 2-0 loss at Chelsea.

United is on a nine-match winless run in all competitions and Carrick’s coaching came under more scrutiny as he didn’t acknowledge Lisandro Martinez as the Argentine defender headed for the tunnel after being sent off.

Yasin Ayari’s early goal made the difference as league leader Manchester City was beaten at home by third-placed Brighton 1-0.

That was a second straight league loss for City after opening the campaign with seven wins in a row. It also means champion Arsenal can take top spot off City on Sunday with a draw or a win against Liverpool. Tottenham climbed to eighth after beating 10-man Crystal Palace 2-0.

High-flying Freiburg wins again

In the Bundesliga, last season’s Europa League finalist Freiburg beat Augsburg 2-1 on Cyriaque Irie’s 85th-minute goal to stay third and cut the gap to one point behind leading duo Dortmund and Bayern ahead of their Klassiker.

Leipzig was close behind in fourth after beating Schalke 2-0.

League top scorer Niclas Füllkrug added his ninth goal as Werder Bremen beat Hoffenheim 2-0 to move up to fifth.

Bayer Leverkusen’s strong early form hit another setback in a 4-2 loss at home to Stuttgart for back-to-back defeats. Borussia Moenchengladbach and Paderborn drew 0-0.

In France, Troyes beat Le Mans 2-0 in the only Ligue 1 game of the day after three others were moved because of protests across the country.
