Carlo Ancelotti has relaxed his stance on taking the Italy job one day.

Bayern Munich got off to the ideal start in their opening Group D match in the UEFA Champions League as they defeated FC Rostov 5-0 at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich and Germany attacker Thomas Muller says that he and his team mates can not expect an easy three points when they host Russian club FC Rostov on Tuesday evening.

Predecessor Pep Guardiola rotated his players a lot during his three seasons in charge but never won the Champions League with the Bavarians.

The Carlo Ancelotti era at Bayern Munich is well underway, but in some ways this match will be his first major test as the manager of the German giants.

Winners in 2013, Bayern have reached at least the semifinals, five seasons in a row. They will hope to build on their Friday win against Krylya Sovetov to get something out of this game.

Russian Premier League runners up last season, Rostov did manage to see off the challenge of Anderlecht and Ajax Amsterdam in qualifying for the group stages, but, in mild understatement, the trip to the Bavarian capital is a huge step up in class for the Russian side.

Cazorla's contested penalty gifts Arsenal first home win
Arsenal's match-winner Cazorla, meanwhile, added: "I had a lot of time to think about where to shoot my penalty, but I kept calm". Arsenal have won their last two league fixtures, while Southampton are still searching for their first win of the campaign.

Rostov are likely not on the level of either of Bayern's Bundesliga rivals, but they're a tough team nonetheless.

The victory gives Bayern a 13th consecutive Champions League win at the Allianz Arena as Ancelotti's men ensured that Rostov's first appearance in the group stages of a European tournament ended in a comprehensive defeat. They work well together as a team, despite not boasting any real stars.

Operating with five defenders, Rostov forced the hosts to pass the ball outside the box looking for gaps and made them wait 21 minutes before the first chance fell to Lewandowski.

Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller were at their vintage best, both getting on the scoresheet in the first half.

Kimmich's two goals in eight minutes confirmed his fine scoring form after he grabbed his first league goal last week having netted in Germany's World Cup qualifier earlier this month.

"None of us really knows the opponents we're going to face", Lahm told reporters when asked about the upcoming clash with the Russian outfit.
