Muller was felled by Daniel Didavi 25 yards from goal and Alaba curled a sumptuous free-kick into the top right-hand corner. Buoyed by the goal, Bayern pushed on and Koen Casteels made a strong one-handed save from Lewandowski's edge-of-the box drive before the goalkeeper showed immense reflexes to also keep out Muller's follow up.Casteels was helpless to prevent Bayern's second, though.  Kingsley Coman led the break to play in Muller on the left of the area and he squared for Lewandowski, who took a touch to get it out of his feet and hammered his shot emphatically past Casteels. It was game over before the break when Coman - who this week agreed to join Bayern on a permanent deal from Juventus for next season - turned away from Didavi and cut back for Lewandowski to drill home a third. There was little change to the script after half-time and Alaba crashed an effort against the left-hand post shortly after the restart.A fourth goal arrived in the 67th minute with a trademark goal from Robben, who cut in from the right and hit a 25-yard daisycutter into the bottom-right corner. Wolfsburg's misery worsened when ex-Bayern man Gustavo man was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away, and the visitors continued to run riot with Muller shooting into an unguarded goal after Lewandowski's effort had hit the post. Bayern were not quite done, though, and Wolfsburg were hit for six when Robben's cross from the left was collected at the far post by Kimmich and he drilled past Casteels.</blockquote>
