Bayern Munich started their preseason campaign with an emphatic and one-sided victory, smashing ninth-tier Rottach-Egern 27-0. The defending German champions showed no mercy against the amateur side, leaving their opponents stunned and highlighting their dominance on the field. This resounding win might make some question the need for rumored transfer target Harry Kane, as Bayern's attacking prowess was on full display.
The match, which took place at Bayern's training camp near Tegernsee, saw head coach Thomas Tuchel field two completely different teams for each half. The first half was an absolute goal-fest with Bayern already leading 18-0 before the break. However, Rottach-Egern managed to somewhat limit the damage in the second half, conceding only nine goals.
Several players put on an impressive scoring display during the game. Jamal Musiala, Mathys Tel, and Marcel Sabitzer all netted an astonishing five goals each, showcasing their clinical finishing abilities. Meanwhile, Serge Gnabry secured a hat-trick, further emphasizing Bayern's attacking prowess.
It's worth noting that this is not the first time Bayern Munich has faced Rottach-Egern in a preseason friendly. Back in 2019, the German giants also triumphed in a similar fashion with a 23-0 victory. Coincidentally, the latest match coincided with the signing of Minjae Kim, a promising South Korean defender, who joined Bayern after an impressive season with Napoli.
Kim, expressing his excitement about the move, stated that joining Bayern is a dream come true for any footballer. He emphasized his eagerness to develop further at the club and contribute to their success. Kim's ambitions include playing a significant role on the pitch and winning as many trophies as possible.
As Bayern Munich continues their preseason preparations, this dominant victory sends a clear message to their rivals that they are once again a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season. Their attacking prowess and hunger for success indicate another strong campaign for the defending German champions.
