In recent years, while Bayern Munich has dominated German football and shined in Europe, rival Munich 1860 has been lost between the fourth and third tier.
Key details
But that didn’t erase the rivalry. Far from it. And in the celebrations of Bayern winning yet another title, 1860 fans can claim one of the biggest victories of recent years: embarrassing their rival in front of thousands of people.
The story is both simple and far-fetched. The idea itself is simple. Being able to execute it perfectly without anyone stopping it has a touch of wickedness that brings a smile to the face of anyone who enjoys a good rivalry.

But instead of ‘FC Bayern München’, what was written in giant letters on the flag introduced at the party by rival fans was ‘FC Bauern Hurensöhne’, which literally means FC Camponeses Filhos da B***’.
And in case anyone had doubts about the authorship of the match, that ‘1860’ written in one of the symbol’s white diamonds would dispel them.
