Munich (dpa) - Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wanted to keep a clear view recently with his Plexiglas mouth and nose protection at the Bayern game against Schalke.

The board boss of the German soccer record champions and Bundesliga leaders explained in the "Bild": "As a glasses wearer I - like probably many others - have the problem that my glasses always fog up when I wear a mask."

That shouldn't have been the case with the mask he briefly wore in the match at bottom of the table FC Schalke 04 last Sunday - “but unfortunately it was.

That's why I'm going back to a conventional FFP2 mask at Schalke, "said Rummenigge.

The mask had caused quite a stir.

It is manufactured by a company in Austria and is intended, among other things, to serve deaf people so that they can see the facial expressions and the mouth of the other person.

With a 3D scan, models can also be made to measure, according to the company's website.

"Unfortunately, I have not yet found a mask that meets the health and political requirements as well as my requirements," said Rummenigge, who also explained that the usual mouth and nose protection had often slipped under his nose.

Because he wants to watch his Bayern's games uninterrupted, "I now do it so that I look without glasses - and then always put them on as soon as it goes towards the penalty area".
