Herbert Hainer fires back after 1860 Munich stunt at Marienplatz
· Yahoo Sports
Bayern Munich is currently basking in the glow of their 35th Bundesliga title, but their championship celebrations on Marienplatz were met with a rather unexpected and provocative stunt. Local rivals 1860 Munich managed to infiltrate the crowd with a massive, manipulated banner that mimicked the official club crest, but replaced the familiar name with a pretty vulgar insult.

While the prank caught the attention of the media and fans alike, Bayern president Herbert Hainer was quick to address the provocation with his signature composure. When asked about the incident in an interview captured by @iMiaSanMia, Hainer did not miss a beat. “Unfortunately, our fans cannot get their revenge, because there won’t be a title to celebrate at 1860 anytime soon,” he remarked.
The little prank definitely made its rounds on the internet, and it did for a while seem like 1860 fans achieved their objective, but Hainer made sure to refocus the internet onto Bayern’s dominance in German football.
