Heynckes sets Champions League record to leave Bayern wanting more

Jupp Heynckes’ remarkable winning run as Bayern Munich manager in Champions League competition has seen him make his own piece of history.

The veteran coach returned to Bavaria for a fourth spell at the helm in October, following the dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti.

He was drafted in to help steady the ship and get a faltering side back on track.

Heynckes has done much more than that, with Bayern cantering towards another Bundesliga crown while remaining in the hunt for European glory.

The last time they conquered the continent was back in 2013, as they swept to a stunning treble.
