Bayern Munich welcome Tottenham to the Allianz Arena for a showpiece preseason friendly on Thursday.
Vincent Kompany’s Bundesliga champions began their preparations for 2025/26 with a victory over Lyon last weekend.

Tottenham are unbeaten in five preseason matches, the highlight of which was a win over Arsenal in Hong Kong. This is the final match for Thomas Frank’s side before they take on Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup.
