Bayern Munich players don their Lederhosen in annual trip to Oktoberfest

After an unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich’s players were rewarded with a visit to Oktoberfest on Sunday.
Bayern have won five and drawn two of their opening seven games, and were treated to a day off to don their Lederhosen, in what has become an annual trip to the festival.
Pictures on the club’s official Twitter and Instagram accounts showed the players in fetching chequered shirts and braces, as they arrived by coach to the world-renowned Munich event.
On Friday, Olympic gold medallist and world’s fastest man Usain Bolt was pictured enjoying the sights and sounds of the festival, and not wanting to be outdone the Bayern players went all-out on their trip.
The club’s official Instagram account tweeted a picture, with the message, ‘Off we go to #Oktoberfest! They’ve deserved it after their performances in recent weeks!’
Xabi Alonso posed for pictures, wearing a traditional green hat and clutching a pint of beer – the main staple of the festival.
A Vine posted by the club also shows the players signing autographs, posing for photographs and waving to fans upon their arrival at the event.
