In what some are calling the biggest mismatch since David took on Goliath with a sling and a cool hat, Bayern Munich embarrassed third-tier minnows Preussen Muenster 4-0 in the German Cup. Meanwhile, Harry Kane remained resolutely unbothered by the spectacle as he enjoyed a quiet evening at home, passionately sipping his tea. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was the darling of the hour, launching Bayern Munich to an early lead with a goal so fast it seemed as though his shoes were on fire. On the other side of the pitch, Serge Gnabry dominated headlines for a different reason. Reportedly, after a not-so-gentle 'hello' to goalkeeper Johannes Schenk, who coincidentally happens to be on loan from Bayern, he left the field with an arm injury that looked ominous to say the least. As they say, the show must go on. Bayern supporters, never wanting to be seen as lacking in sportsmanship, chose to commemorate Gnabry's exit with an unexpected tribute. A game of 'whose tennis ball will hit the pitch first?' ensued — a nod, perhaps, towards the annual Wimbledon championships, or merely a unique version of ‘it’s raining tennis balls’. The game's interruption was so short, it could barely even be classified as an interval. The Bayern fans, however, did manage to get in a solid set of tennis and a group rendition of Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing' before the game resumed. Over in England, oblivious to the tennis ball deluge in Germany, stood Captain Harry Kane. In stark contrast to the tense german football battlefield, he had spent his day in a state of benign tranquility largely unheard of among professional footballers. Rumour has it, he was nowhere near a football pitch but was instead spied enjoying a cup of Earl Grey at his humble abode. Truly groundbreaking stuff. Thus, in the parallel narratives of Bayern's tennis ball rain and Harry Kane's aggressively calm tea time, the strange loop of the football world was manifested once more. And with the consequences of this event unfolding in the weeks to come, the great question on everyone’s lips is: Will competence over chaos prevail? Or if we hope for a more exciting twist, will a tennis ball appear at Tottenham Hotspur's next football match? Cue suspenseful music.
