Bayern Munich bounced back from from the 5-1 loss to Frankfurt in the Bundesliga to continue its perfect start on the continental stage with a 2-0 victory over Greek Club, Olympiakos.
The Bavarian, who at the weekend parted way with its coach Niko Kovac after disappointing results in the League, secured its place in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League at the Alliance Arena.

The Polish striker prodded home a cross from Kingsley Coman from close range to score his 21st goal of the season in all competitions.
He thus set interim boss Hansi Flick on the way to victory in his first game since being put in temporary charge.
Croatian winger Perisic slammed the ball home with his first touch less than 60 seconds after coming off the bench to seal the win.
Bayern top Group B with 12 points from four games and will be confirmed as group winners if Red Star Belgrade’s match with Tottenham Hotspur later on Wednesday ends in a draw.
