FC Bayern shines on the way to the 30th championship title. After the 1-0 in Dortmund, Munich celebrate a goal gala against Düsseldorf. Lewandowski cracks an impressive brand. The starting eleven comeback of a world champion is unfortunate.

Munich (dpa) - The endurance champions of FC Bayern have opened the show run for the 30th championship title with a shooting festival. Munich's Fortuna Dusseldorf outclassed 5-0 (3-0) and completed an optimal nine-point week in the Bundesliga.

The record champions expanded the championship lead to ten points at least until Sunday. Bayern combined to their hearts' content and rewarded themselves in the spectator-free Allianz Arena with their 22nd win in the 25th competitive game under Hansi Flick. After the own goal of Düsseldorf's Mathias Jörgensen (15th minute) Benjamin Pavard (29th), twice successful Robert Lewandowski (43th / 50th) and Alphonso Davies (52nd) put four more goals. For the Fortuna, the faint hope of a point win in the relegation battle turned out to be an illusion.

There was no trace of a drop in voltage for the Munich team four days after the probable feat by 1-0 against Borussia Dortmund. On the contrary! The Bayern Express impressed with its force and speed, everything was going too fast for the Fortuna. However, the evening was unfortunate for Lucas Hernández. The Frenchman had to get out of the starting eleven comeback after 45 minutes.

15 years after the opening game in the Allianz Arena, Lewandowski celebrated a small anniversary. His 3-0 with 230 goals and 70 assists meant the 300th scorer point in the league. Lewandowski scored for the first time after five goalless duels against Dusseldorf through the dreamily played goal over Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller. Now he has scored against all 18 Bundesliga clubs. Anyone who saw the trio cheering afterwards knew that no one would let up here. Especially not Lewandowski, who met playfully easy after the break on the preliminary work by Serge Gnabry. With 29 goals this season, he still has Gerd Müller's 40 goal record in sight.

A man of the first half hour was Pavard, who played a decisive role in two Bayern goals. Before the 24-year-old headed to the fourth goal of the season after a Kimmich corner kick, he was also celebrated for the lead. The direct acceptance of Pavard ultimately directed Jörgensen into its own network.

The focus was also on Pavard's world champion colleague Hernández, who was allowed to play alongside David Alaba in central defense. The 24-year-old's lack of rhythm was apparent in the first starting eleven game since the 3-2 home win against SC Paderborn in February. The record purchase committed in summer 2019 for 80 million euros presented itself well in a duel and tried to take advantage of the position of ex-world champion Jérôme Boateng.

Like right-back Pavard, left-back Davies met. The Canadian, praised by sports director Hasan Salihamidzic as "excellent" and "very clear", left a handful of opponents and was the scorer in the second home game in succession.

Fortuna showed little offensive signs of life in the last game of manager Lutz Pfannenstiel's tenure. A shot from Kenan Karaman blocked Davies (33.), André Hoffmann headed over (51.). In the meantime, coach Uwe Rösler resignedly supports himself at the bench - so it will be very tight for the Fortuna in the relegation battle.
