Two Thomas Müller goals helped Bayern hammer Shakhtar 7-0 to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the fourth consecutive year.
The game as a competitive contest was all but over after just two minutes and 19 seconds as Shakhtar defender Olexandr Kucher was shown a straight red card for bringing down Mario Götze in the box. The red card was the fastest in Champions League history.
The contact on Götze was minimal as he broke down the right-hand side of the box before being brought down by the sliding Kucher. Although the penalty was a certainty, Shakhtar will feel hard done by with the red card as Gotze's touch was heavy and looked to have lost the chance.
Thomas Müller stepped up to fire the penalty into the top right-hand corner to give Bayern a third minute lead.
Bayern doubled their lead thirty minutes later when a scrappy exchange in the six-yard box ended with Jerome Boateng tapping in from close-range for his second goal in the competition.
Boateng won the original header following a deep cross before Müller cushioned a header into the path of Lewandowski six yards out who turned and fired straight at Andriy Pyatov. The rebound fell kindly to Boateng who tapped in the easiest goal of his professional career.
Bayern were relentless throughout and Franck Ribery scored a third four minutes after half-time. Ribery collected the ball down the left-hand side and played a clever one-two with Boateng before cutting inside and calmly slotting a right-footed shot into the bottom corner.
Bayern didn't settle after the third goal and further punished their Ukrainian opponents as Müller scored his second of the game after clever play down the left by Franck Ribery.
Ribery fired in a cross that was deflected via goalkeeper Pyatov and a Shakhtar defender before falling to Müller who calmly slotted the ball into the gaping net.
Bayern fans will be happy to see their team progress with ease and even happier to see Holger Badstuber score only his second ever goal for the club after suffering two career-threatening knee injuries in recent years.
The German centre-back rose the highest to power home a header off the inside of the right-hand post from six yards out following a Rafinha cross after a short corner routine to make it 5-0 with half an hour left to play.
Robert Lewandowski made it six for the German champions as he latched onto a simple ball over the top of the defence that the Polish striker chested down before cutting across two defenders and slotting between Pyatov's legs.
There was still time for a seventh as Bayern broke following a Shakhtar corner as Boateng picked out Götze who held up the ball before cutting inside and beating Pyatov at his near post to equal Bayern's biggest ever Champions League victory.
The result was never in question after the red card shown to Kucher as Bayern put on an exhibition for their fans. Bayern had 74% posession and 25 shots as the 7-0 scoreline ultimately somewhat flattered Shakhtar.
Bayern lost Arjen Robben to an apparent hamstring injury in the first-half and also lost Franck Ribéry with an ankle injury during the match that may take some gloss off an accomplished performance that sealed their place in the quarter-finals.
