Munich's huge success came after a season of early Champions League elimination yet the Bavarian giants were able to use their extra energy to clean up domestically.

Goals by Ballack in the third and 10th minutes and then another by Peruvian Claudio Pizarro five minutes after the break, after good work from, you guessed it, Ballack, left Kaiserslautern with little to cheer at Berlin's Olympic stadium.

The trophies were a big bonus for Ballack who missed out horribly last season. He finished a three-time runner-up with Bayer Leverkusen in the German League, German Cup and European Champions League.

Then he was suspended and had to watch from the sidelines as Germany lost to Brazil in the World Cup final.

"It has been even sweeter to win trophies this season after losing so much last year," Ballack told Sat 1 television station after the match.

"It was great that we scored three goals but the main thing was to win," he added before a large glass of beer was poured over his head.

Keeper Oliver Kahn had also predicted Munich would clean up domestically after coming bottom of their first round group this season in the Champions League after several seasons of reaching the later stages, and being champions in 2001.

Bayern also won the German League title with four matches to go to completely dominate the Bundesliga.

More than 70,000 supporters saw a superb start by Bayern who were ahead after just three minutes.

England's Owen Hargreaves knocked a freekick into the penalty area and Ballack got the better of his marker Vratislav Lokvenc to head home.

In the 10th minute, Ballack scored his second. Hargreaves was fouled by Bill Tchato in the box and Ballack stepped up to fire home the penalty into the top left-hand corner.

Brazilian Lincoln had Kaiserslautern's best early chance minutes later when he fired over Bayern's bar.

A late tackle by Kaiserslautern's Markus Anfang on Ballack earned him a yellow card but Ballack had already done the goal-scoring damage and quickly shrugged off the challenge.

Though coach Erik Gerets' men came back into the game, Bayern's defence was holding firm and the match came to a stalemate situation before the end of the half with both teams cancelling each other out.

Five minutes after the break, the match was effectively all over. Ballack fed Pizarro who got the better of defender Herve Lembi and hit a beautifully timed lob over keeper Tim Wiese for Bayern's third.

When Bulgarian midfielder Marian Hristov was sent off in the 78th minute for a tackle from behind on Bayern's Brazilian Giovane Elber, Kaiserslautern's hopes looked to have faded.

Miroslav Klose however did head Kaiserslautern on to the scoresheet with 10 minutes to go after good work be defender Tchato but it was too little too late.
