It was not clear why this bizarre decision was made, however German publication BILD now claim that European football’s governing body UEFA had taken issue with Bayern’s 2024/25 home kit and banned it. According to BILD, the problem is to do with the dark numbering and lettering on Bayern Munich’s red kit.

Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their past 13 matches against Scottish sides in major European competition (W9 D4), with their last such defeat coming against Hearts in the Uefa Cup in February 1989 (0-1).
