Bayern thrash Tottenham — that was the headline most Spurs fans were waking up to after a tough night in Munich. The Bundesliga giants put on a dominant display in a one-sided friendly that left little doubt about who is ready for the new season.
From the opening whistle, Bayern looked sharper, stronger, and more organized. For Tottenham, it was a harsh reminder that pre-season still has some tough lessons in store.
🔥 Bayern Thrash Tottenham: A First-Half Blitz
The game got off to a flying start with Bayern Munich pressing high and forcing early errors from the Spurs backline. Leroy Sané opened the scoring in the 9th minute, finishing off a slick passing move. Just ten minutes later, Harry Kane — yes, scoring against his former club — doubled the lead with a clinical strike from outside the box.
Tottenham’s midfield, which lacked rhythm throughout the match, struggled to gain control, and Bayern exploited every gap they found. By halftime, the scoreboard read 3-0 after Jamal Musiala added another with a brilliant solo run.

🧯 Second-Half Efforts Fall Short for Spurs
Spurs tried to regroup after the break, introducing several substitutes including Richarlison and Giovani Lo Celso. Although they showed more urgency, the final product was lacking. Bayern’s defensive line, led by Matthijs de Ligt, comfortably held off every attack.
To make matters worse, Bayern added a fourth goal in the 75th minute, this time via substitute Mathys Tel, putting the game far beyond Tottenham’s reach. The 4-0 scoreline reflected not just the goals but the overall gap in tempo, tactics, and finishing quality.
📣 Post-Match Reactions: ‘Wake-Up Call’ for Tottenham
Manager Ange Postecoglou admitted after the match that the result was disappointing but said it’s better to face such tough opponents early in the season.
“We were outplayed, no excuses. Bayern were sharper, but we’ll take the lessons,” he said in the post-match interview.
Fans on social media voiced frustration, especially with the midfield and defensive performance. Some also questioned squad depth ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.
