Bayern Munich stars and Carlo Ancelotti drink pre-Oktoberfest beer in Lederhosen to toast Champions League win
Bundesliga giants were in good spirits after thrashing FC Rostov 5-0 in Europe on Tuesday night
BAYERN MUNICH toasted Tuesday night's Champions League success with a drink as they prepared for Oktoberfest.
The Bavarian club's stars were feeling lager than life at a beer brewing company in Germany following their 5-0 romp of Russian side FC Rostov at the Allianz Arena.
Goalscorers Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich and Juan Bernat were among those pictured letting loose after netting at the Allianz Arena.
The victory continues Bayern's incredible start to the season under former Chelsea boss Ancelotti, with five wins from five games plus 20 goals scored and none conceded.
Oktoberfest starts on Saturday and Bayern's staff and players annually attend the festivities.
The folk festival sees attendees wearing traditional Lederhosen and drinking beer.
Ancelotti, 57, made his first appearance as Munich boss since Pep Guardiola departed for Manchester City in the summer.
The Italian and his squad joined in with tradition in their outfits, donning leather breeches, long socks, white shirts and a jacket.
It was also a first outing for Bayern newbie Renato Sanches - a £28million summer signing from Benfica - but there were enough experienced heads in the likes of Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer to teach him custom.
