Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has denied the rumours of a crisis at the German club following their poor performances in the Bundesliga. Despite being critical of his players in last week's draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, Ancelotti said that the players have learnt their lesson.

Pep Guardiola has hit out at Mundo Deportivo newspaper over a report that he had phoned Lionel Messi and Neymar in an attempt to sign them for Manchester City. Although he admitted calling Neymar while managing Barcelona, Guardiola said he wished Messi to finish his career with the Spanish giants.
