BERLIN: Five-time European champions Bayern Munich must draw the consequences from their "very painful" 3-0 Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain, according to the German club's chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

"It's a very painful defeat, a defeat we have to analyse and after which we'll have to talk about clearly and draw the consequences because what we saw was not Bayern Munich," Rummenigge was quoted by AFP subsidiary SID as saying at the post-match meal in a Paris hotel.

"It's important we reverse this curb and that we again present ourselves as Bayern Munich and show that we're a team that has been all the rage in Europe and Germany and that we're going to kickstart that again."

Dani Alves, Edinson Cavani and Neymar netted as PSG claimed a convincing victory over a disappointing Bayern in their heavyweight Champions League clash in the French capital on Wednesday.

The result left the French club top of Group B with the maximum six points from two games, eight goals scored and none conceded. They are on course to win the section -- Bayern are level on three points with Celtic, who won at Anderlecht.
