Bayern romp delights Ancelotti: 'That was the reaction I expect'

Munich - Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti said the 4-1 romp against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League was the reaction he was looking for after a three-match winless streak.

Bayern bounced back in emphatic style on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena with winger Arjen Robben in outstanding form.

The German media had spoken of a 'mini-crisis' after Bayern's Bundesliga draws with Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt in the wake of a 1-0 defeat at Champions League Group D leader Atletico Madrid.

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had branded the attitude in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Frankfurt as "unacceptable", but Ancelotti was pleased with his side's response against PSV.

"That was the reaction I expect from the team, the attitude was good, we learnt our lessons from Frankfurt," said the Italian, who had won his first eight games in charge before the Madrid defeat.

"We very happy to have Manuel Neuer," Ancelotti added after the Germany goalkeeper pulled off a string of good saves to deny Eindhoven's attack.

Bayern faces PSV away in a fortnight, then travels to face Russian side Rostov before hosting Atletico in the final group match on December 6 in a game likely to decide who wins the pool.

"We played well, but we have to give our best in the next few games to make sure we play Atletico for first place," warned Ancelotti.
