Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich cruised to a 6-0 home win over Werder Bremen in their opening Bundesliga match of the season.
Xabi Alonso opened the scoring with a thumping volley from just outside the penalty area after a cross was half-cleared.
Four minutes later Franck Ribery slipped Lewandowski through on goal and the striker finished superbly from a tight angle.
The dominance continued after the interval when Lewandowski stretched to tap in a Thomas Muller cross, before Philipp Lahm drove in the fourth via the post after more precise passing.
Ribery added a fifth by finishing well from Muller’s pass and Lewandowski completed his treble with a late penalty as Bayern won their first league match of the campaign for the fifth year in a row.
