Bayern Munich fulfil sausage promise to Ingolstadt

The Bundesliga leaders promised the struggling side a gift of pretzels and sausages if they defeated RB Leipzig, and stayed true to their word

Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is a man who keeps his promises. The former winger said that he would give Ingolstadt a special prize if they defeated Bayern's title rivals RB Leipzig, and has followed up on that claim with a generous gift.

Before the Bundesliga mid-season break, Ingolstadt defeated RB Leipzig by a goal, allowing Bayern to go top of the table. A month later, the Bavarian side lead Leipzig by just three points, but Rummenigge is a man of his word, and delivered Ingolstadt's reward to the club.
