'The ugly face of Bayern' - Rummenigge slams his own fans & promises severe action after Hopp 'son of a b*tch' banner

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says he is "deeply ashamed" of the banners unfurled by his side's supporters in Saturday's 6-0 win over Hoffenheim.

The match was stopped several times because away fans unveiled signs insulting Hoffenheim owner Dietmar Hopp, who has been a controversial figure among Bundesliga supporters since bankrolling the club’s rise to the German top-flight.

The referee took the teams off the field, while Bayern coach Hansi Flick and some players fumed at the supporters and urged them to stop their protests.
