The German side added the trophy to a glittering collection after completing a Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble in the summer and then adding the European Super Cup.

Dante scored early to deflate the Moroccan hosts at Marrakech Stadium, and Thiago Alcantara put the European champions in command with his 22nd-minute goal.

Pep Guardiola's side remained in the ascendency and contiunued to pepper Khalid Askri's goal with shots, with Shaqiri the closest to adding to the lead when his 62nd minute effort rattled the crossbar.

Raja Casablanca, surprise finalists after upsetting Atletico Mineiro in the semifinals, had a handful of chances on the counter-attack but never managed to put Bayern under any serious pressure.
