Franck Ribery laughs-off Champions League temper-tantrum as he smiles along at Bayern Munich beer event

FRANCK RIBERY has laughed-off his Champions League temper-tantrum as he smiled along at a Bayern Munich beer event.

The French winger, 34, was subbed-off in the 78th-minute of the German giants' 3-0 win over Anderlecht, only to angrily throw his shirt at the bench.

Ribery and Co were already 2-0 up against the ten-man Belgian side - before he was hauled off for Thomas Muller.

However, the following morning, he teamed-up with his Bayern pals at a Paulaner photo-shoot.

Ribery - who doesn't drink on religious grounds - was still able to crack a smile alongside boss Carlo Ancelotti, Muller, Arturo Vidal and Co.

On Ribery's outburst, Ancelotti said: "Of course, I understand that the player wants to play 90 minutes.

"But maybe sometimes they don't understand, in this situation Ribery, that I made a change not because of his performance.

"His performance was good, but because it was ten minutes from the end.

"We had the game under control and he had a small problem on Sunday and didn't train, so I had the possibility to give him a rest.

"I don't understand the reaction and I will have to ask him.

"He was upset. But he already had a yellow card and I wanted to give him a break.

"His performance was good. Perhaps he didn't think about it."
