The sun was already beating down when the Bayern stars made their way out onto the training ground on Wednesday morning. The temperatures meant sweat would have flowed copiously in any case, but the workout devised by boss Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching team simply magnified that effect.

Jérôme Boateng continued his sports rehab drills outdoors on an adjacent pitch.
