Ancelotti demands more from Bayern

Carlo Ancelotti has emphasised the importance of Bayern Munich having a strong end to the season, despite having already wrapped up the Bundesliga title.

Bayern secured their fifth league crown in succession in style with a resounding 6-0 win over Wolfsburg last weekend, though the Bavarians failed to find their best form against bottom-of-the-pile Darmstadt on Saturday.

Despite controlling possession and creating a glut of gilt-edged chances, Bayern failed to add to Juan Bernat's early strike, and had to rely on Tom Starke's late penalty save to seal the three points - relegating Darmstadt in the process.

And Ancelotti, who saw both Robert Lewandowski and Franck Ribery hit the woodwork in the second half at the Allianz Arena, has demanded improvement in the remaining two fixtures of the season.
