Bayern took the lead after just two minutes through Robert Lewandowski, and the goals continued to flow from there. Thomas Müller netted a hat-trick, while Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman each scored twice. Other goals came from Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and even goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who converted a penalty in the second half.
