Bayern thrash Werder Bremen as Bundesliga kicks off on StarTimes

Bayern Munich thrashed Werder Bremen 6-0 as the Bundesliga 2016/17 season kicked off on StarTimes World Football last night.

Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick while Xabi Alonso and Lewandowski gave Bayern a two-goal lead early.

Captain Philipp Lahm and Franck Ribery also netted, and Lewandowski converted a penalty after Thiago was fouled.

Thomas Muller assisted with three of the six goals at the Allianz Arena.

Defender Mats Hummels, who joined from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, played the full 90 minutes, while 19-year-old midfielder Renato Sanches, a £27.5m signing from Benfica, was an unused substitute.

Bremen never even attempted to attack and put together a dreadful outing in almost all areas of the pitch. Bayern could have easily scored five or six more goals.

Ancelotti, who took charge following Pep Guardiola’s summer departure for Manchester City, won the German Super Cup this month.
