Muller: Bayern enjoyed PSV rout

The German champions enjoyed a superb return to form in the Champions League on Wednesday, as they crushed the Dutch side 4-1, and the forward admits he had “fun”

Bayern Munich thoroughly enjoyed their return to form in the Champions League on Wednesday as they cruised past PSV 4-1, according to forward Thomas Muller.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side came into the match having failed to win for three consecutive games, but thumped their Dutch opponents at the Allianz Arena.

Muller opened the scoring with only his third goal of the season before the in-form Joshua Kimmich made it two.

Luciano Narsingh halved the deficit for PSV, but Robert Lewandowski and Arjen Robben scored to re-establish Bayern’s dominance after the break.

“We hit the gas from the very first minute,” Muller told the club’s website. “We attacked, especially in the first 30 minutes. It was fun.

“We wanted to turn in a better display than in the last few matches. The first goal was important because we regretted the missed chances at the beginning.”

Robben, meanwhile, felt Bayern were deserving winners, though he conceded that his side “lost control to a certain extent” after PSV’s goal.

“We started well and were dominant – we created chances as well,” said the winger. “We made use of our quality up front.

“After the second goal our positional play wasn’t good at times. You always have to watch out if you’re only attacking. They were dangerous.

“It went on for five to 10 minutes after the break. After Eindhoven pulled one back it was dangerous two or three times.

“But then we did well again and won deservedly. We played very good football at times.”

The win puts Bayern five points clear of PSV in second place, although they remain three adrift of Group D leaders Atletico Madrid.
