Lewandowski, the Bundesliga’s top-scorer last season with 30 goals, could have finished with five as Bayern ran riot.
“I’m just happy I scored and that we got the win,” Lewandowski told broadcaster ARD and revealed he finished the game with a hole in his goal-scoring right boot.
After Xabi Alonso scored the first goal of the 2016/17 campaign at Munich’s Allianz Arena, Lewandowski netted either side of the break before captain Philipp Lahm added a fourth.
Franck Ribery fired the fourth and Lewandowski then converted a penalty to claim his third and Munich’s sixth.
Having also hammered Hamburg 5-0 in last season’s opening game, this was another emphatic win as Bayern Munich look to
win a fifth consecutive Bundesliga title.
