Robert Lewandowski's hat-trick helped give coach Carlo Ancelotti a flying start to his first Bundesliga campaign as Bayern Munich cruised to a 6-0 win over Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena.
Xabi Alonso, Philipp Lahm and Franck Ribery were also on target for the Bavarians.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice to give Borussia Dortmund, last season's runners-up, a 2-1 victory over Mainz 05.
SPAIN
Title holders Barcelona joined Las Palmas and Real Madrid at the top of La Liga when they beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 thanks to Ivan Rakitic's first-half header.
Surprise packages Las Palmas are top on goal difference after crushing Granada 5-1 while Real survived another week without injured talisman Cristiano Ronaldo to beat Celta Vigo 2-1, Toni Kroos' late missile proving the difference.

FRANCE
Champions Paris St Germain suffered a shock 3-1 defeat at Monaco, suggesting they may find it harder to retain their Ligue 1 crown after last season's complete domination.
PSG won the title by 31 points in May, losing only two games, but they were outclassed by Monaco who finished third last term.
Monaco are top of the table, level with Guingamp and Nice on seven points from three matches and one ahead of PSG who won their first two games of the season.
