Bayern played their worst 'for a long time' - Boateng

Jerome Boateng lamented Bayern Munich's below-par performance against Anderlecht, despite the Bundesliga giants picking up a Champions League win in Belgium.

Robert Lewandowski and Corentin Tolisso secured a 2-1 success at the Constant Vanden Stockstadion, but Jupp Heynckes' men rode their luck for large parts.

Anderlecht's equaliser through Sofiane Hanni was their first Champions League goal of the season, hinting that the Belgians' profligacy, rather than Bayern's backline, was key.

Bayern have slim hopes of topping Group B with a game to play, but they must overturn a three-goal deficit to Paris Saint-Germain while beating the pool leaders on the final matchday.
