Bayern Munich have converted their scarves into protective masks in support of the 'WeKickCorona' campaign initiated by Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka.
Defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have transformed scarves into protective masks in a method to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in Germany.
