"I'm very happy, this is a very good performance from my team. "In fact, I have changed very little in this team, it's a great team. We just tried to play a little more directly." Ancelotti hailed Lewandowski after the striker scored his second hat-trick in two games, with the Poland international having hit a cup treble against Carl Zeiss Jena a week ago."He is a fantastic player," said Ancelotti. "He is always in the box ready to score." Mats Hummels made his second Bundesliga appearance for Bayern - the first was in May 2007 before his decorated spell at Borussia Dortmund - and the centre-back accepted it felt "weird" to be back at the club after eight years away."It was a little weird for me to return to the Allianz Arena," said Hummels.  "I was a little nervous, but it's a perfect start for us, to put us on track in the league."For me, I'm still not 100 per cent in my form but it was a good match. The road is still long for us."</blockquote>
