Just 24 hours earlier they were thumped 3-0 against Liverpool in front of their own supporters.

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.

Meanwhile Liverpool have the chance to win the Audi Cup when they take on Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.

The Reds have enjoyed a fine pre-season having remained undefeated.

Boss Jurgen Klopp will also be more than encouraged to see new signings Mo Salah and Dominic Solanke fit and firing ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.
