Although Barcelona left new Brazil signing Neymar at home, first-team regulars Javier Mascherano, Adriano, Alex Song and Alexis Sanchez, plus Argentina&#39;s Lionel Messi played the first-half in Munich. Goals by Philipp Lahm and Mario Mandzukic either side of half-time was enough to give the Champions League winners victory over the Catalan giants at a sold-out Allianz Arena in front of 71,137 fans. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jul/bayern.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 365px;" /> With the Uli Hoeness Cup on offer, in honour of Bayern&#39;s president, this was Munich&#39;s second pre-season title in four days having won Sunday&#39;s Telekom Cup final with a 5-1 win at hosts Borussia Moenchengladbach. Barcelona had something to prove on their first return to Munich since their 4-0 drubbing in April&#39;s Champions League semi-final, which the Germans had backed up with a 3-0 win in Spain. But with Gerardo Martino back in Spain, ahead of Friday&#39;s official unveiling as Barcelona new manager, caretaker coach Jordi Roura had no qualms about blooding his entire bench of juniors at half-time. Likewise, with the Bundesliga season a fortnight away, Guardiola gave both Brazil centre-back Dante and Germany&#39;s Bastian Schweinsteiger, back from a minor ankle op, their first pre-season appearances. Messi made a bright start with a run through midfield before blasting his shot wide, while at the other end, Germany&#39;s Toni Kroos forced Barcelona goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto into a diving save. France winger Franck Ribery and Holland&#39;s Arjen Robben then combined and only the desperate boot of Barcelona&#39;s Adriano deflected the Dutchman&#39;s shot in a lively first five minutes. Bayern took the lead on 13 minutes when captain Philipp Lahm latched onto Ribery&#39;s chipped cross and lobbed his header over Pinto. At the other end, Bayern&#39;s Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer denied Barca&#39;s Sergio Roberto with the ball at his feet and pushed the shot wide. Germany&#39;s Thomas Mueller, playing as Bayern&#39;s lone striker, was only denied again by Adriano&#39;s desperate intervention as Bayern pressed for a second with half-time approaching. The half-time break heralded a host of changes, including the full Barcelona team, while goal-scorer Mandzukic would become one of 10 second-half introductions. Bayern grabbed their second on 87 minutes when squad member Diego Contento whipped in a cross which Croatia&#39;s Mandzukic buried from close range. Bayern now travel to face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in the German Super Cup in a repeat of the Champions League final, which the Bavarians won 2-1 at Wembley in May.u00a0
