Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has hit back at his own player, Joshua Kimmich, over comments he made about Florian Wirtz 's impending transfer to Liverpool. The 22-year-old made his preference of the English champions over the German heavyweights clear - paving the way for a £116m agreement.

Jamal Musiala scored a hat-trick upon his return, Thomas Müller his 250th goal in an official match, and super talent Lennart Karl got his first minutes in Bayern Munich's senior team. It was thus no wonder that board member for sport Max Eberl spoke of "many nice stories" after Sunday's 10-0 thrashing of New Zealand part-timers Auckland City in their Club World Cup opener.

It’s no secret that Bayern Munich has been looking for a brand new forward to add to their roster. With their search for a winger becoming increasingly imperative and seemingly tedious, Kimmich weighs in on the need for a signing in the attacking department.

Newly crowned European champions PSG opened their Club World Cup campaign with a 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid, while Bayern Munich scored a record 10 goals against New Zealand’s Auckland City.
