Bayern Munich impressively began their quest for a fourth
straight title triumph with a wholly deserved and highly convincing 5-0
thrashing of outclassed Hamburg in Friday evening’s official opening match of
the 2015/16 Bundesliga season.
The 75,000 capacity crowd at the Allianz Arena
saw Pep Guardiola’s men patiently pick away at their deep-lying opponents and
take a 27th-minute lead through Mehdi Benatia. Robert Lewandowski doubled the
lead eight minutes after the restart, before Thomas Müller banished any
lingering doubts with the third from Douglas Costa’s brilliant build-up play,
the Germany international promptly adding a fourth with quarter of an hour
still to go. Summer signing Costa added a final flourish with his maiden German
top flight strike to complete the rout before the end.
