With the tournament being expanded to 32 teams for this edition in the United States, this is a record that may not stand for long, but that won't matter for Bayern Munich after kicking off the tournament in style.

FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, had billed the Club World Cup as "THE BEST v THE BEST," as the "the 32 best club teams in the world," and the "pinnacle" of soccer. But on the second day of this novel tournament, in the second game, their pitch unraveled when the sixth best team met No. 5,074.

Bayern Munich has smashed Auckland City FC 10-0 to secure the biggest victory in the history of the FIFA Club World Cup dating back to the old format.
