Four players scored hat-tricks as Bayern Munich kicked off their pre-season campaign with a huge 27-0 win over local side FC Rottach-Egern.
The Bundesliga champions fielded two separate XIs for the contest. The starters contained regular first team players Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich.
That selection fired them into an 18-0 lead at the half-time break. Gnabry scored three while Musiala and young forward Mathys Tel each netted five as the German giants averaged a goal every 2.5 minutes.

- Serge Gnabry x3
- Leroy Sane x1
- Dayot Upamecano x1

The second-half saw a completely different side. Sadio Mane, Marcel Sabitzer, Leon Goretzka, Kingsley Coman and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were among those to feature.
Sabitzer added goal number 19 shortly after the restart and the midfielder had his hat-trick secured 20 minutes later. Recent addition Raphaël Guerreiro also struck for their 24th.
Bayern have been linked with a move for England and Tottenham striker Harry Kane in the summer transfer window and that talk could get louder as Choupo-Moting limped off injured following a collision with the opposition goalkeeper.
They've already secured one major move as defender Kim Min-jae watched on just hours after his £43million move from Napoli was confirmed.
It was a opening look at Thomas Tuchel's side ahead of the 23/24 season, with a training camp in the Bavarian resort town of Tegernsee seeing them take on the amateur club.
It's the first time the two have faced each other since a pre-season meeting in 2019. Unsurprisingly, Bayern ran out 23-0 winners that day, 12 months after a 20-2 victory in the same location.
