Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim players spent the final 13 minutes of their Bundesliga game farcically playing the ball among themselves - and even exchanging passes with the opposition - as they wound down the clock after Hoffenheim’s billionaire backer was insulted by away fans on Saturday.
Bayern were already leading 6-0, but the goal-fest was over as both sides agreed not to compete in the teeming rain after a banner calling Dietmar Hopp a “son of a whore” was displayed, among others, in the Bayern block of fans.
Bayern players and coaching staff reacted with fury to the insults targeting Hopp from their own fans, and they remonstrated angrily with the travelling supporters on both occasions that referee Christian Dingert suspended play.
