Bayern, PSG bang in the goals at Club World Cup
Jamal Musiala scored a hat-trick in a 17-minute span of the second half on Sunday in front of a crowd that unfurled a banner pronouncing "Smash FIFA!" while accusing the governing body of mismanagement.
Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman and Michael Olise scored two goals each for the German Bundesliga champions. Bayern had 17 shots on target to Auckland's one.
Musiala, a 22-year-old midfielder, replaced Harry Kane in the 61st minute, making his first appearance since April 4 after recovering from a hamstring injury.
He scored in the 67th minute, converted a penalty kick in the 73rd and scored again in the 84th.
Before a crowd of 21,152 at TQL Stadium, fans displayed a red-and-white banner referring to the 2015 raid by US law enforcement officers at a Zurich hotel that led to the arrest of many soccer officials: "10 Years Baur Au Lac — World Football Is More Poorly Governed than Before! Smash FIFA!"
Bayern built a 4-0 lead by midway through the first half when Sacha Boey scored in the 18th, Olise in the 20th and Coman in the 21st.
Muller, the 35-year-old who plans to leave Bayern this summer, added a goal in the 45th minute and Olise made it 6-0 in the third minute of first-half stoppage time.
"It is an unbelievable challenge to play against one of the world's best teams, and I think as the goals went in, obviously you get down on yourself and that gets more challenging," said Auckland forward Angus Kilkolly.
"We did try our very hardest to keep them out."
In Los Angeles, Paris Saint-Germain picked up right where they left off in their first match since winning the UEFA Champions League last month, turning what was billed as a blockbuster into a 4-0 rout of Atletico Madrid.
The sunsoaked midday match, timed to accommodate fans watching in Europe, drew 80,619 people to the sunsoaked Rose Bowl in Pasadena on a day when conditions led to water breaks in both halves.
"It's the best scheduled time for the European countries, but it's difficult to play in these conditions," PSG coach Luis Enrique said after the Group B clash.
Despite being without injured Ballon d'Or favourite Ousmane Dembele, the young team earned the win behind goals from four different players - Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in.
Elsewhere, Palmeiras drew 0-0 with FC Porto in New Jersey and Seattle fell 2-1 on home turf to Botafogo.
Bayern Munich have hammered Auckland City 10-0 in Club World Cup match that only demonstrated the embarrassing gulf between some of the sides in FIFA's overblown event.

Priestman ready to earn back respect in coaching return
Thrown a career lifeline by Wellington Phoenix, disgraced former Canada coach Bev Priestman knows she will have to work hard to regain the respect of the football world. But after the fallout of last year's Paris Olympics drone spying scandal, which included no longer feeling "safe" in Canada, Priestman is ready to hit the reset button. The 39-year-old guided Canada's women to Olympic gold in Tokyo, before being sacked in July 2024 and handed a one-year ban by FIFA after drone surveillance tactics were uncovered by Olympic opponents New Zealand. Her ban ended on July 27, paving the way for a long-expected coaching return with Wellington on a two-year deal. It means the A-League Women's most well-credentialed coach will get to restart her career in the same footballing country that effectively brought about her downfall. On Wednesday, Priestman couldn't speak to the details of what happened in Paris but had used a "very difficult" past 12 months "to reflect, to learn, to grow" and become a more well-rounded coach. "I think everybody involved will certainly have regrets, for sure," she said. "What I will say is I'm a pretty optimistic person and I think there's been days in the last 12 months that that optimism has been very difficult. "But again, it feels like Christmas Day to me, to come back and I know I have to earn the trust of everybody and I'll be working hard to do that." Priestman would have been among the top contenders to take over as coach of Australia's Matildas had she not been suspended. Instead, last year she barely left her house in Canada as a "media frenzy" descended, before relocating with her Kiwi wife, now-Phoenix academy director Emma Humphries, and their young son, to New Zealand. "For me, I didn't feel safe," she said. "That's being brutally honest. I think it was very difficult for my family and I have to live with that, I have to wear that. "And for me, we just wanted to get around family ... to be around family and just work on yourself - when you've been through something like that, I think it's important to reflect, grow and now I feel ready. "I've got that itch." Priestman is yet to speak to her new Phoenix charges, but said she had received welcoming phone calls from past and present Football Ferns players. She acknowledged she would also need to win over local fans in New Zealand. Phoenix football director Shaun Gill had no reservations about Priestman's appointment. "We're completely comfortable with who Bev is, who she is as a football coach, who she is as a person and we're thrilled to have her at the club," he said. Priestman returns to New Zealand after heading up coach development in Wellington 16 years ago. She also served as New Zealand Football's director of football development, and has coached at four FIFA Women's World Cups, three Olympics and three FIFA Youth World Cups. Wellington finished ninth last season, parting ways with Paul Temple before appointing Amy Shepard as interim coach.

She was busted for cheating at the Olympics. Now she's coaching in the A-League
A few days before Imane Khelif became the centre of the world's attention, the biggest controversy at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris involved a drone. On the eve of New Zealand's first women's football match, Rebekah Stott spotted the craft hovering over the team's training session. 'We were just doing throw-ins, and I was waiting for Ali Riley to throw me the ball and I hear this noise,' Stott told Sam Mewis, the former American international, on her podcast The Women's Game last year. 'I'm a bit of a drone enthusiast, I've got one myself, and so I hear this noise, and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh ... is that a Mavic Pro?'' Quite aside from the fact that flying drones above people was illegal in France, Stott's discovery unravelled one of the biggest scandals in women's football history. It turned out that the drone had been sent there by the Canadian national team, and that this was something they'd been doing for quite a while. Subsequent investigations by the Canadian media found that their junior and senior national teams, for both men and women, had been using drones as far back as 2016 to spy on opposition training sessions in a bid to gain insights on tactics and personnel. Canada's women were docked six points, hampering their bid to defend their Olympic title, and their coach Bev Priestman, one of her assistants and an analyst were all sent home. FIFA later banned the three of them from participating any football-related activity for a year – and ending any chance that Football Australia, who have long admired Priestman's coaching, would approach her to become the next Matildas coach. So when Wellington Phoenix appointed Priestman's wife, Emma Humphries, a Kiwi, to head up the club's academy, then announced that they would reveal the identity of the new head coach of their A-League Women's team in July – which just happened to be when Priestman's suspension was due to expire - all signs pointed to one thing. On Wednesday, three days after the ban ended, the worst-kept secret in the game was confirmed: Priestman has signed a two-year deal with the Phoenix, becoming arguably the most credentialled coach in ALW history, and also the most contentious.
