Few teams can cope with Bayern when their wingers are on song especially with goal-poacher supreme Mario Gomez, scorer of seven goals in two outings, lurking in the penalty area to finish off their runs.
The Allianz Arena goal celebration, one of the most irritating in European football, has been played over the public address system 14 times in two matches after the Munich side unleashed their full attacking power on hapless Hoffenheim and Basel.
"Thank you" shouts the announcer to which the crowd cry "You're welcome", an intended joke which wears pretty thin after it has been repeated two or three times.
Poor Hoffenheim had to endure the ritual seven times as they crashed 7-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday and Basel, who believed that it could not happen to them as well, were thumped 7-0 in Tuesday's Champions League match.
The last five days may prove to have been the turning point for Bayern's season which had threatened to go down the drain after an indifferent run featuring defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach as well as a goalless draw at lowly Freiburg.
"Maybe the team needed to have their backs to the wall to produce these performances," said club president Uli Hoeness who added Basel's poor pitch was partly to blame for the first-leg defeat.
For all their problems Bayern are still in with a chance of a Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble and will benefit from Bastian Schweinsteiger's return from injury.
Heynckes has compared Germany midfielder Schweinsteiger to Barcelona's Andres Iniesta and Xavi.
