The team managed by Ancelotti started really good the game and in the 10th minute they already scored the second goal, from a great free kick of the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. The team managed by Carlo Ancelotti was creating a lot of chances, and it looked like they were going to score the third one but Arturo Vidal did a defensive mistake and the Portuguese Rapahel Guerreiro scored the first goal for Tuchel’s side.

At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid former player Robben scored the third goal for Bayern Munich from a great counterattack, started with a great pass from Ribery that the Dutch finished it with a great shot. In the 69th minute Robert Lewansowski scored the the fourth goal form a penalty kick.
