Hear why Carlo Ancelotti is being replaced at the end of the season at Bayern Munich.

The result provided much relief for Bayern who have had a difficult week, following reports in the Spanish media, external that Lewandowski was looking for a move to La Liga champions Real Madrid.

And German football writer Raphael Honigstein told BBC Radio 5 live that Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti will "not see out his contract beyond the summer" and be replaced by Hoffenheim head coach Julian Nagelsmann.

But after the match, Bayern chairman Uli Hoeness laughed off the claims by saying "it is not 1 April", in reference to April Fool's Day.
