Bayern Munich celebrated its 35th Bundesliga title on Marienplatz when 1860 Munich infiltrated the crowd with a large manipulated banner. The banner mimicked the official Bayern crest but replaced the club name with a vulgar insult. The stunt drew attention from media and fans. Bayern president Herbert Hainer addressed the provocation in an interview, stating that Bayern fans could not get revenge because there would not be a title to celebrate at 1860 anytime soon. The prank circulated online, briefly appearing to achieve its goal, while Hainer redirected attention toward Bayern’s continued dominance in German football.
"Local rivals 1860 Munich managed to infiltrate the crowd with a massive, manipulated banner that mimicked the official club crest, but replaced the familiar name with a pretty vulgar insult.

"When asked about the incident in an interview captured by @iMiaSanMia, Hainer did not miss a beat. "Unfortunately, our fans cannot get their revenge, because there won't be a title to celebrate at 1860 anytime soon," he remarked. The little prank definitely made its rounds on the internet, and it did for a while seem like 1860 fans achieved their objective, but Hainer made sure to refocus the internet onto Bayern's dominance in German football."
