Bayern Munich super-fan Alexander Zverev splashes out £8,000 on ultimate Bavaria experience... with the tennis star set to travel with the players and share a banquet for their Champions League clash against Man United

Tennis star Alexander Zverev will get the chance to watch his Bayern Munich heroes up close and personal after spending big at his own evening gala on Tuesday night.

The 26-year-old, who is a huge Bayern fan, hosted the Alexander Zverev Foundation's evening gala at the Hotel Tannenhof in Weiler, Germany, in a bid to raise money for children and young people with diabetes, having suffered from Type 1 of the condition since he was four.

One of the prizes on offer was the ultimate Bayern experience, and he splashed out €9,000 (£8,000) to ensure he got his hands on it.
