Bayern captain Philipp Lahm said: ""Winning the championship is never a given."

No German side had won more than three titles in a row before Bayern made it four last year.

This fifth title will go some way in helping Carlo Ancelotti's side get over its recent Champions League and German Cup exits.

Ancelotti said: "Of course we have a few regrets about the last 15, 20 days.

"But now is the time to celebrate and we have time to prepare for the new season."

Wolfsburg, languishing one point above the relegation zone in its worst ever Bundesliga season, offered little resistance.

Lewandowski and Thomas Mueller both went close before David Alaba broke the deadlock just inside the 20-minute mark with a finely struck free kick.

Some 15 minutes later, Kingsley Coman ran onto Thiago Alcantara's pass and crossed for Mueller, who teed the ball up for Lewandowski to pick his spot inside the right post.

There was still time before the break for the Poland striker to claim his second, thanks to another run from Coman and some lackluster Wolfsburg defending.

Alaba hit the crossbar after the break, but Arjen Robben claimed the fourth goal midway through the half with a low shot inside the right post.

Lahm made way with 20 minutes remaining as Rummenigge and other club officials were celebrating with beer in the stands.

Wolfsburg's misery was compounded when Luiz Gustavo earned his second yellow card the furious Brazilian had to be wrestled away from the referee by his teammates and then Mueller made it 5-0 on the rebound after Lewandowski hit the post.

Joshua Kimmich completed the rout late on.
