They were 18-0 up at half-time in a contest that resembled more of a slasher film than a football match, with Bayern's barely-tested superstars controlling over 85% of possession.

Despite the gulf in class, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel fielded a strong side, with the likes of Sadio Mane, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Alphonso Davies, Marcel Sabitzer, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane and Dayot Upamecano all featuring.

Sabitzer, Musiala and 18-year-old French forward Mathys Tel netted five goals each, and were among a whopping 13 goalscorers on the day. The floodgates opened in the fourth minute and the Bundesliga giants went on to score a goal, on average, once every three-and-half minutes after that.

Fans watching the game could barely believe their eyes, with hundreds of them flooding to social media to come to grips with what was going on.

"This is most insane half of football I've ever seen," one staggered fan tweeted. Another joked: "Bayern woke up today and chose violence," while a third said: "This is the closest thing to a massacre you're ever going to get."

"So Bayern's pre-season is going well," another commented, while a fellow fan added: "12th Bundesliga in a row incoming."
