Inevitable Bayern Munich Victory Augurs Well for Carlo Ancelotti

Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti had predicted that Friday's road match against Schalke would be tough. He was right, but as is so often the case, the defending German champions still found a way to win.

Goals from Robert Lewandowski and Joshua Kimmich in the final 10 minutes gave Bayern a 2-0 victory in Gelsenkirchen and made it a perfect six points from six in the Bundesliga.

"It was the difficult game that we expected against the tough opponent we expected," Ancelotti said afterwards. "Schalke caused us many problems. For 60 minutes, the game was well balanced, and after that we had more chances and also got the goal.
