Bayern Munich vs Tottenham LIVE!

Tottenham’s 100 per cent start to pre-season is over after slipping to a narrow 2-1 friendly defeat against Bayern Munich in Seoul on Saturday. Pedro Porro scored with a brilliant strike to give Spurs hope amid an improved second-half showing in the South Korean capital, but ultimately it was not enough to secure a share of the spoils as their run of summer wins was halted at four following earlier victories over a K-League XI, Vissel Kobe, QPR and Hearts.

Bayern enjoyed a brilliant opening half in their first real pre-season test under new boss Vincent Kompany after matches against German minnows Rottach-Egern and FC Duren, with young forward Gabriel Vidovic capitalising on the absence of former Spurs talisman Harry Kane following England’s run to the Euro 2024 final as he netted inside five minutes following a bad mix-up between Guglielmo Vicario and Djed Spence.

The Bundesliga giants could have been out of sight at the interval as by far the superior team, but it was actually when Spurs were fighting back after half-time that they doubled their lead thanks to substitute Leon Goretzka. Porro’s rocket gave Tottenham late hope in a thoroughly entertaining match, but Bayern held on for the win as they prepare to face the same opposition again in the Visit Malta Cup in north London next weekend.

Tottenham suffer first pre-season loss in Seoul

14:18 , George Flood

A better second half from Tottenham for sure, but Pedro Porro’s rocket is not enough to spark a late comeback in Seoul.

Spurs slip to their first defeat of an otherwise encouraging pre-season campaign, but have a swift chance for revenge next weekend when they host Bayern on home soil in the Visit Malta Cup.

The early signs look good for Vincent Kompany in Munich.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

13:08

Can’t think of too many redeeming features from Tottenham in that first half and Ange Postecoglou will no doubt be pondering changes.

Djed Spence struggled notably at times, but he’s not a left-back in fairness.

Bayern Munich firmly on top in impressive first half

12:58 , George Flood

A very impressive first half indeed from Bayern Munich, who deservedly lead in Seoul through Gabriel Vidovic's early goal that punished a dreadful mix-up between Guglielmo Vicario and Djed Spence.Spurs have been firmly second best so far with Vicario kept very busy. They are lucky to only be 1-0 behind at the break.

Plenty for Ange Postecoglou to work on, but opposite number Vincent Kompany will be delighted to have witnessed such a rousing 45 minutes from his new side early on in their pre-season schedule.

They have just lacked a ruthless edge in the final third to add to their stylish build-up play and relentless press, which is understandable without the likes of Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane.

Serge Gnabry the best player on the pitch so far, with young duo Vidovic and Mathys Tel also catching the eye in attack.

12:52 , George Flood

Half-time

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:49 , George Flood

43 mins: The pressure and high press from Bayern is just relentless so far, despite the heat.

They are looking a real cut above despite their numerous absentees and being at an earlier stage of their pre-season, a first-time strike from Raphael Guerreiro inside the box now saved by Guglielmo Vicario.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:47 , George Flood

42 mins: That’s a wicked free-kick delivery from Joshua Kimmich into the six-yard box after Djed Spence’s foul on Serge Gnabry.

But Bayern quickly come again with more stylish football, Guglielmo Vicario doing just about enough to force Mathys Tel to flick wide from close range.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:46 , George Flood

41 mins: A long diagonal ball from left-back picks out the ever-dangerous Serge Gnabry, who is cynically tripped from behind by Djed Spence.

30 mins: Sacha Boey lofts a ball into Serge Gnabry, whose cushioned volley across the box looks to tee up Thomas Muller for an easy finish from close range.

Guglielmo Vicario dives to parry clear before the offside flag is raised.

Vincent Kompany will be very pleased indeed with the attacking intent shown by his side so far today.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:34 , George Flood

28 mins: Tottenham are sloppy in possession and Bayern seize on the loose ball, with Raphael Guerreiro charging forward on the break.

He finds Mathys Tel, who tries to pick out Gabriel Vidovic for a simple tap-in in the middle.

However, Heung-min Son gets all the way back to make a crucial last-ditch intervention to keep this at 1-0.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:31 , George Flood

25 mins: Sweat is pouring off the players in the searing evening heat and humidity in Seoul.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:28 , George Flood

23 mins: Former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry is enjoying another runout against Tottenham so far today.

He’s at the heart of everything impressive being done by Vincent Kompany’s side, with his latest effort following a smart dummy blocked behind by Radu Dragusin.

Tottenham just about escape another corner before their latest break is again calmly and coolly halted.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:27 , George Flood

17 mins: Here come energetic Bayern again as Mathys Tel cuts inside off the left flank and onto his favoured right foot, beating Pedro Porro before unleashing a powerful drive that is parried away by Guglielmo Vicario.

Gabriel Vidovic is just unable to connect with the rebound from close range and Spurs survive.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:20 , George Flood

No Harry Kane? No problem so far for Bayern in Seoul...

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:18 , George Flood

12 mins: A really good early tempo to this game from both sides despite the heat in Seoul.

Feels like another high-scoring friendly involving Tottenham is on the cards.

Ange Postecoglou will want to see improvements in defence, though.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:16 , George Flood

9 mins: Spurs have woken up here after a sluggish start, Josip Stanisic having to be alert to block an effort from a twisting and turning Dejan Kulusevski behind after a dangerous break featuring Pape Sarr.

They sustain that pressure and have back-to-back corners, but Bayern clear the danger.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Tottenham

12:13

6 mins: You can’t say Bayern don’t deserve that for their sharp start.

Spurs are trying to hit back quickly, Heung-min Son curling an attempt off target.

12:08 , George Flood

4 mins: Bayern go in front early after a disaster at the back from Spurs!

The English side had threatened through Brennan Johnson, who was well dealt with by Josip Stanisic.

At the other end, a hesitant Guglielmo Vicario tries to pick out Djed Spence and the ball is seized upon by Serge Gnabry, who is denied before 20-year-old forward Gabriel Vidovic slots home at the second attempt.

Bayern have started so well.

Bayern Munich 0-0 Tottenham

12:06 , George Flood

2 mins: Bayern have started brilliantly here, with the pace of teenage French forward Mathys Tel causing all sorts of early problems for the Spurs defence.

He’s just flagged offside once before quickly being set away down that left flank again.

Now Thomas Muller floats an inventive ball to the back post, where Serge Gnabry arrives to blaze narrowly over the crossbar.

Here come the teams at a sold-out Seoul World Cup Stadium!

A great sense of anticipation around for this high-profile fixture.

Apparently they could have sold it out several times over.

Spurs are in their familiar home strips today, with Bayern donning their new lively away kit.

Tottenham to 'feel benefit' of hot conditions on Asia tour

11:48

The heat will provide a bit of a test for both sets of players today and may dictate what kind of game we see.

Temperatures are still up around 31 degrees in Seoul, where kick-off is at 8pm local time.

Humidity remains at approximately 70 per cent, so it will be a real workout.

On the weather, Postecoglou said: “It is a challenge at this time of the year.

“I've experienced it myself working in Japan, but at the same time, I think it's a good challenge for the players and mentally as much as anything else to adjust the conditions to still work hard, to train and still try to play our football during the practice games we've had.

“So I think at times it's been really difficult but they've pushed through and I think we'll get the benefits of that when we get back to London.

“And, you know, they're having a heatwave now and it's 24 degrees. So my boys will be pretty relaxed about that.

“And I think mentally we'll come out of this stronger knowing that in tough conditions, they still manage to work hard and the games have shown that we can still perform at a good level.”

Ange Postecoglou: Bayern double-header is perfect Tottenham test

11:34 , George Flood

It is unusual to see two teams meeting twice in the space of a week during pre-season, with Tottenham also hosting Bayern Munich on home soil in the Visit Malta Cup next weekend.

Ange Postecoglou believes it will be a real chance for his Spurs team to see where they are at ahead of their Premier League opener away at newly-promoted Leicester on August 19, having boasted a 100 per cent record from four pre-season friendlies so far.

“I just think they're a good opportunity for us against a very good opponent to just extend the work we've done in pre-season already and put it to practice in games,” Postecoglou said this week.

“I think there'll be two different games here and in London.

“I think the conditions here will play a part on Saturday, obviously, but like I said, for us, it's just a really good opportunity against a quality opponent to get ready for our first game against Leicester, which is a week later.”

South Korea team-mates Heung-min Son and Kim Min-jae in Seoul showdown

11:24 , George Flood

The showdown between South Korea team-mates Heung-min Son and Kim Min-jae is sure to attract a lot of interest in Seoul this afternoon.

There were ongoing rumours of a fallout between the pair last year, with Kim publicly and privately apologising to Son after a social media misunderstanding.

Asked about their showdown this week, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said: “It's a game of football, not a tennis match.

“So it's 11v11, I'm sure Sonny will enjoy the challenge of playing against his national team-mate.

“But at the same time knowing what Sonny's like will be focused on making sure that we as a team perform at a good level and keep progressing and against a very good opponent who have got a lot of very good players.”

Spurs draft in Radu Dragusin, Djed Spence and James Maddison

11:09

Ange Postecoglou makes three changes to the Tottenham team that started Wednesday’s 4-3 victory over a K-League XI in Seoul.

Radu Dragusin got 20 minutes off the bench in that game and now comes into the defence in place of Emerson Royal.

Djed Spence is rewarded for an encouraging summer so far with a start at left-back as he fights for his Tottenham future, while James Maddison replaces young summer signing Lucas Bergvall in midfield.

Still no Richarlison or Destiny Udogie in the squad, but Oliver Skipp is fit enough for the bench after a knock.

Tottenham lineup

11:00 , George Flood

Starting XI: Vicario, Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Spence, Gray, Sarr, Maddison, Johnson, Son, Kulusevski

Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Gunter, Royal, Abbott, Skipp, Bissouma, Devine, Hall, Bergvall, Donley, Moore, Solomon, Werner, Veliz, Scarlett, Lankshear

Eric Dier on Bayern bench against his former club

10:56

So Eric Dier starts on the bench today against his former club.

Joao Palhinha is also among the substitutes as he awaits his Bayern debut.

The likes of Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich all come straight in after returning to pre-season training this week following Euro 2024.

There’s no Jamal Musiala just yet though, with Muller and Serge Gnabry supporting the youthful duo of Gabriel Vidovic and Mathys Tel in attack.

Bayern Munich lineup

10:46 , George Flood

Starting XI: Neuer, Boey, Kim, Stanisic, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Pavlovic, Gnabry, Muller, Vidovic, Tel

Subs: Ulreich, Schmitt, Goretzka, Dier, Palhinha, Bryan, Laimer, Irankunda, Licina, Fernandez, Mazraoui, Aseko, Aznou

Today's venue

10:44 , George Flood

A look inside today’s venue, the 66,704-capacity Seoul World Cup Stadium in the South Korean capital - built in 2001 especially for the 2002 tournament.

It is home of both the South Korean national team and K-League 1 side FC Seoul.

Tottenham also played here in midweek of course, when Heung-min Son was on the scoresheet twice to go along with goals from Dejan Kulusevski and young Will Lankshear to secure a thrilling 4-3 victory over a K-League XI.

Ange Postecoglou offers latest update on Heung-min Son contract

10:34 , George Flood

The headline topic from Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou’s pre-match press conference in Seoul this week was the future of captain Heung-min Son, whose current Tottenham contract is due to expire next summer with negotiations over an extension said to be ongoing amid rumoured transfer interest from Saudi Arabia.

But the manager was keen to insist that contracts are not his area of expertise as he also praised Ben Davies, who like Son has entered the final 12 months of his Spurs deal.

“Yeah, look, that's not really my area, what I always do and what I've always done is irrespective of the contract situation of players is to you know, treat them all the same,” Postecoglou said.

“Ben and Sonny are an important part of this football club.

“We've got a really young team at the moment and we need some good experienced players around them and they're two that certainly set the right example.

“And in terms of contracts I think that all gets sorted out at the appropriate time.

“But from my perspective, and I think the players' perspectives themselves, we're just focused on preparing for a big year.”

Bayern Munich vs Tottenham prediction

10:20

Spurs are so much further along in their pre-season plans that they should feel confident of claiming another morale-boosting victory in South Korea today.

It’s still very early in the summer comparatively for Vincent Kompany’s men, who remain without a host of key players.

Tottenham to win, 3-2.

Tottenham team news

10:17

Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso, Rodrigo Bentancur and Micky van de Ven all remain absent for Tottenham in Seoul this afternoon.

It remains to be seen if either Richarlison or Destiny Udogie will be fit to feature, while the likes of Oliver Skipp and Ashley Phillips have also been dealing with knocks of late.

Bayern Munich team news

09:48 , Matt Verri

Bayern boss Vincent Kompany has already confirmed that Harry Kane won’t play against his former club, having been afforded an extended break after reaching the Euro 2024 final with England this summer.

The DFB-Pokal cup game against SSV Ulm 1846 on August 16 is a more likely return date for the Three Lions skipper.

There is also no Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano or Kingsley Coman for Bayern, who are similarly missing Michael Olise, Leroy Sane and Matthijs de Ligt.

However, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala returned to pre-season training earlier this week, while Joao Palhinha is set for his debut after finally joining from Fulham in a £42.3m deal earlier this month.

Eric Dier will also be pushing to feature against his former club.

“Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano and Kingsley Coman won’t be there, but then hopefully for the first cup game,” Kompany said at a press conference earlier this week.
