Ancelotti shocked by Bayern's AC Milan thrashing

Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has acknowledged that his team's 4-0 defeat to AC Milan in the International Champions Cup came as a shock.

The Bundesliga champions were dispatched in ruthless fashion by Vincenzo Montella's side thanks to goals from Franck Kessie, Hakan Calhanoglu and a double from Patrick Cutrone.

"I am surprised by the result," he told a news conference. "I am disappointed, we did not have any balance and we did not play well. This should not happen to us.

"The transition game did not work. There is still time to prepare for the season and that is what we need to do. In Shanghai [against Arsenal] we played well for 50 minutes.

"The results are not good. The most important thing is to improve our condition and not have any injuries so we are ready for the Supercup."
