Julian Nagelsmann's side proved to be too good against the Bremen minnows at the Weserstadion in the delayed clash, which was originally scheduled for earlier this month.

Bremer SV boss Benjamin Eta dubbed the fixture a game for the ages and said that his personal wish was to see counterpart Nagelsmann jumping up from anger.

But Nagelsmann had very little jumping to do, however, as his heavily rotated team took a 5-0 lead by half-time, with Choupo-Moting scoring a hat trick.

The ex-RB Leipzig gaffer had left Robert Lewandowski, Leon Goretzka and Manuel Neuer in Munich, while Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies and Serge Gnabry were all on the bench.

Kingsley Coman and Lucas Hernandez were unavailable due to injury, resulting in Omar Richards making his Bayern debut at left back.

Former Paris Saint-Germain striker Choupo-Moting opened the scoring in the eighth minute after firing in off the underside of the crossbar, before Jamal Musiala made it 2-0 in the 16th minute.

It was 3-0 in the 27th minute after Bremer defender Jan-Luca Warms' attempted clearance from a Musiala strike resulted in an own goal, seconds before Choupo-Moting doubled his tally.

He completed his hat-trick in the 35th minute, and despite Bayern 5-0 up at the break, Nagelsmann made three changes - much to the dismay of their opponents.

Substitute Malik Tillman scored shortly after the restart on his senior debut for Bayern, with Musiala banging in his second moments later.

Leroy Sane then got on the score sheet in the 65th minute, before Bremer were reduced to ten men after Udo Nobile was sent off for hauling back Tillmann.

Michael Cuisance, Choupo-Moting, Bouna Sarr and Corentin Tolisso all scored in the final minutes to cap Bayern's second biggest win in their history.
