⚽ Round 1 Highlights
🔥 Bayern Munich Crushes Auckland City 10–0
In a record-breaking performance, Bayern Munich demolished New Zealand’s Auckland City 10–0, the biggest victory in Club World Cup history. Jamal Musiala starred with a hat-trick, while Kingsley Coman, Thomas Müller, and newcomer Michael Olise also found the back of the net. The German giants showcased their dominance, exposing the wide skill gap between elite clubs and semi-professional squads.
