Bayern celebrate Kane’s Ballon d’Or, Kompany’s discharge with Magdeburg win

Bayern Munich rested newly-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane as they cruised past second-tier Magdeburg 6-1 in the German Cup second round. On Monday, Kane became the first English player since Michael Owen in 2001 to win the prestigious award, football’s top individual honour, and was rested two days later as his club managed his workload in advance of a demanding run of domestic and European fixtures. The England captain, who was also the first Bayern player to win the Ballon d’Or in 45 years and the first at a German club to do so since 1996, was given a guard of honour before the match and waved to the adoring home crowd at the Allianz Arena as he walked out.
