Bayern Munich consolidated their first place in the Bundesliga on Saturday by atomizing Hoffenheim on their lawn (0-6). But this is not what we will retain from this meeting. No, it is rather the attitude of the Bayern supporters, and that of the 22 players in response.

Bavarian leaders forced to calm down supporters

The match was indeed interrupted twice due to insulting banners to Hoffenheim's powerful owner, Dietmar Hopp. The latter is the regular target of supporters of "traditional" clubs, who do not like the new rich model that he is developing with his club.

The first time, Bavarian coach Hansi Flick went to ask fans to remove the banner, which attacked Dietmar Hopp's mother. The second was the players and the entire management team - including the big boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge - who came to try to calm their supporters. The match ended by resuming after twenty minutes of interruption, but to mark their dissatisfaction, the 22 players decided to boycott the last quarter of an hour. They passed him playing a pass at ten in the center circle. Surrealist.
