Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulreich received a 20k fine and a one-match ban for insulting Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes, highlighting inconsistencies in the DFB's disciplinary measures.
Max Eberl criticized the DFB's decision, arguing that the punishment for Ulreich was excessive compared to previous incidents where lesser penalties were imposed. Eberl stated, 'In my opinion, it's too harsh... a fine and a game ban for Ulle now is excessive.'
Rolfes, initially annoyed by the insult, accepted Ulreich’s apology and declared the incident over from his perspective, showing contrast with the DFB's continued pursuit of punishment.
Bayern Munich faces a critical reassessment of their game plan following Ulreich’s absence due to the ban, indicating strategic challenges for the team moving forward.
