​Philipp Lahm has said that Pep Guardiola handed him a piece of paper telling him to score during Bayern Munich's 2-0 victory over Ingolstadt on Saturday.





The Bavarian skipper was handed a note by his boss which left the football world scratching their heads as to what the Spaniard wrote down.

But Lahm revealed his manager told him to score, but the German was definitely pulling the reporters leg as he told ​Bundesliga.com: "The coach told me that I should score – and preferably with my left foot."





"And as I’m a model professional I did exactly that! Joking aside, there were some things on there that I won’t make public, but everyone could see the way we were playing before then and how we were tactically a bit different afterwards."

After receiving the note, Bayern upped their game and went on to win 2-0 with Robert Lewandowski and Lahm scoring for the German giants.





And Pep Guardiola said it was the toughest game his side played this season: "A huge compliment to my team, but also to Ralph [Hasenhuttl] and Ingolstadt for the bold display," Guardiola said after the game.





"Today we encountered the best team we've been up against so far this season. We've had problems with our build-up play for a long time, but at some point it improved, in part because of Thiago. In the end our quality prevailed."
