'HUNGRY' PSG SOUND WARNING IN OPENING WIN

European champs humble Atletico 4-0 as they hunt for historic fifth trophy of 2025

- 

Paris Saint-Germain laid down an ominous marker on their march towards global domination at the Club World Cup on June 15, as Bayern Munich showed no mercy to Auckland City's amateurs with a ruthless 10-0 walloping.

The first full day of action at the inaugural edition of the 32-team club tournament saw newly crowned European champions PSG produce a scintillating 4-0 rout of Atletico Madrid after Bayern's double-digit drubbing of Auckland.

The New Zealand minnows are one of the Cinderella stories of the tournament, made up of amateur players who had to take unpaid leave to travel to the United States.

But Bundesliga's Bayern were in no mood to be charitable and duly ran riot in Cincinnati.

Jamal Musiala scored a second-half hat-trick after coming off the bench, while Kingsley Coman, Michael Olise and Thomas Muller all netted twice.

Sacha Boey scored the other goal in a Group C game that amounted to target practice for Bayern, who will face tougher tests against Boca Juniors and Benfica.

"We have to remain modest but it was important to be able to say that we took the game seriously," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany.
