Bayern boss Ancelotti relishing PSG reunion

Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti is eagerly anticipating his reunion with former club Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Ancelotti's Bayern and big-spending PSG have been drawn together in Group B, along with Celtic and Anderlecht.

"It's an exciting group with great teams, Paris foremost," Ancelotti said.

"It's a beautiful story for me personally to meet my former club. We have three different but tough opponents."

"The draw is very interesting. Paris is a smash," Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said. "I have never played against PSG before and I am looking forward to these matches.

"And I meet Celtic for the first time, too."

Mats Hummels added: "It's a nice group. It's our task to reach the next round. Paris are a spectacular team. But that's nice, to go against the best. I am happy that we do not have to travel that far."
