Follow Mail Sport's live blog of Tottenham against Bayern Munich as Harry Kane could make a return to face his former club.
This live blog has now closed.
That’s all from us at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern Munich ran out convincing 4-0 winners over Tottenham in the Telekom Cup.
Harry Kane scored against his former club, but it was the youngsters off the bench who stole the show — with Jonah Kusi-Asare and Lennart Karl both scoring stunners late on.
Plenty for Thomas Frank to think about ahead of next week’s UEFA Super Cup against PSG.
Thanks for following along — this live blog is now closed.
Spurs not ready for Champions League football
Tottenham were not terrible but they played like a team who knew they were vastly inferior to their opposition.
Because they are. This side finished 17th in the Premier League last season, while Bayern romped to the Bundesliga title by a margin of 13 points.
Spurs sat deep for much of the game and tried to rely on the pace of Mohammed Kudus and Brennan Johnson to launch meaningful counter-attacks.
When that plan bore no fruit, Spurs tried to play on the front foot, only to be destroyed on the break themselves.
Thursday's match was played with an official UEFA Champions League match ball. But it will have done nothing to make Frank's men feel more comfortable about their return to elite European competition.
'Spurs weren't good enough'
Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson speaking on SpursPlay:
Spurs have to lick the wounds, dust themselves down and go again. Bayern were better on the night they caused all sorts of problems. Spurs just weren't good enough. Accept it and move on to the Super Cup on Wednesday. No making excuses, Bayern were better tonight. It's a bigger game next Wednesday.
Bayern were brilliant
As easy as it would be to focus on Tottenham's shortcomings, it must be said that Bayern were brilliant.
That starting front four of Kane, Diaz, Olise and Coman will take some stopping next season, both in Germany and Europe, while their subs were also superb.
Full-time: Bayern 4-0 Spurs
No added time as the ref shows mercy to Spurs.
Thomas Frank's side had kept three clean sheets in their first five friendlies but this was a wake-up call.
How will they respond against PSG next week?
Bayern 4-0 Spurs
This has been a tough night for Spurs and perhaps a glimpse of what is to come ahead of their return to the Champions League.
It is perhaps not a huge surprise though. After all, they did finish 17th in the Premier League last season.
The good news for Thomas Frank is that Spurs will not face many sides this good domestically this season.
The bad news is that his next game is against European champions PSG in the UEFA Super Cup.
GOAL! BAYERN 4-0 Spurs (Kusi-Asare)
How good are these Bayern youngsters?!
Another stunning strike — this time from Jonah Kusi-Asare, who curls a first-time shot into the top corner from the left side of the box.
Vicario had no chance.
That’s now two absolute belters from Kompany’s bench brigade, and Spurs are being taken apart by Bayern’s second string.
Ruthless, stylish, and utterly dominant.
GOAL! BAYERN 3-0 Spurs (Karl)
The Mexican wave is rudely interrupted by a screamer scored by 17-year-old Lennart Karl.
Luis Diaz led the attack before David Daiber teed up Karl and he curled past Vicario spectacularly from 20 yards.
Vicario is not happy with his defenders but that was a top finish.
Bayern 2-0 Spurs
Spurs are enjoying a sustained period of possession.
But the Bayern fans don't care. They are enjoying a Mexican wave.
How very pre-season.
Bayern 2-0 Spurs
As expected, it's a near full reset from Vincent Kompany. Nine of Bayern's starting XI have been replaced, with only Manuel Neuer and Luis Diaz staying on.
Off go:
Kane, Kimmich, Goretzka, Coman, Olise, Laimer, Stanisic, Tah, and Upamecano.
On come:
Kusi-Asare, Bischof, Daiber, Karl, Wanner, Boey, Guerreiro, Kim Min-jae, and Kiala.
That's Kane's night done — a goal, a missed penalty, a hug for the Spurs keeper, and a warm reception from both sets of fans.
Now it's up to Bayern's second string to finish the job.
Meanwhile, Tel is on for Richarlison.
Bayern 2-0 Spurs
A lovely moment in Munich as Guglielmo Vicario pulls off a superb save to deny Harry Kane.
Kane's reaction? A grin and a hug for the Spurs keeper. That looks like Kane's final involvement of the evening, with Bayern preparing a wave of substitutions.
It’s wholesale changes from Vincent Kompany — looks like half the team is coming off.
We’ll confirm the ins and outs as soon as we have them.
Bayern 2-0 Spurs
Double change for Spurs
Moments after falling 2-0 behind, Thomas Frank makes two subs.
Wilson Odobert replaces Brennan Johnson out wide, while Ben Davies comes on for Djed Spence, who was caught out in the build-up to Bayern's second.
Spence looked annoyed as he takes his place on the bench.
