Bayern have spent big to strengthen their squad this summer with the additions of Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman, Niklas Sule and James Rodriguez.
But they failed to score a goal during the Audi Cup and looked second best in both matches despite a star-studded side that featured the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Franck Ribery.
It caps a worrying pre-season run of results for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Despite a 3-2 victory against Chelsea, Bayern were thrashed 4-0 against AC Milan, lost 2-0 against Inter and drew with Arsenal.
And it got worse for them with news that Rodriguez and Thiago both suffered muscle injuries during their clash with Liverpool.
