Jupp Heynckes said he enjoyed seeing Thomas Mueller return to
form as Bayern Munich got their Champions League campaign back on track with a
3-0 home win against Celtic.
Bayern
captain Mueller put the hosts ahead after 17 minutes before goals by Joshua
Kimmich and Mats Hummels sealed the victory on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena.
The
result leaves Bayern second in Group B on six points, three behind leaders
Paris Saint-Germain and three clear of third-placed Celtic.
It
was an important result for Bayern in the wake of their 3-0 drubbing in Paris
three weeks ago, which led to Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal.
Heynckes,
72, came out of a four-year retirement for his fourth stint as Bayern coach to
replace Ancelotti.
He
restored Mueller to his preferred attacking midfield role, allowing him to
happily roam just behind Robert Lewandowski, with Thiago Alcantara dropping
into a deeper position.
"Thomas
put in a good performance, he ran a lot, was very present and we saw the old
Thomas Mueller," said Heynckes
