England captain Harry Kane scored his fourth hat-trick of the season as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich thrashed Cologne in their last league game of the campaign.

Kane has now scored an incredible 63 goals for club and country in only 55 matches in 2025-26, including 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga games.

Bayern clinched their 35th league title on 19 April and end 16 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, with a German Cup final against Stuttgart to come on 23 May.

Such was Bayern's domestic dominance, they only lost one of their 34 Bundesliga matches, scoring 122 goals in the process.

Kane got his first against Cologne after 10 minutes when he volleyed in Joshua Kimmich's flick-on, before the pair combined again three minutes later - Kimmich nudging a free-kick to Kane, who fired into the bottom corner.

Said El Mala pulled one back for the visitors in the 18th minute after a quick counter-attack, but Tom Bischof quickly restored Bayern's two-goal advantage with a low shot from outside the penalty area.
