Just five minutes in, Kingsley Coman kicked off the scoring in the brand-new Club World Cup, nodding in a header after a setup from Jonathan Tah to put Bayern Munich in front. From there, it was total domination. The German giants steamrolled Auckland City, who never stood a chance. By the 21st minute, it was already 4-0 thanks to a double from Coman, a goal from Sacha Boey—his first for the club—and another from rising star Michael Olise. It felt less like a tournament match and more like a light training session, with the gap between the two teams absolutely massive.

The second half brought more fireworks. Jamal Musiala returned from injury in style, bagging a hat-trick after being out for over two months. Dayot Upamecano also made his comeback as Vincent Kompany rotated his squad, even giving 17-year-old Lennart Karl his debut. While Harry Kane kept hunting for his goal, Thomas Müller added a brace of his own to wrap up the 10-0 demolition. Bayern Munich made a loud statement in their tournament debut—this team’s here to win it all, and clearly, sides like the champions of Oceania are way out of their depth.
