Munich ¨C ?A ?porcelain cockatoo was the star of Bayern Munich¡¯s Bundesliga title celebrations at Allianz ?Arena on Sunday, ?with the ?Bavarians¡¯ lucky ?charm also featuring on the players¡¯ official championship-winning T-shirts.
Bayern ?secured its 35th German championship ?with a 4-2 victory over VfB ?Stuttgart, with four ?matches left to play.
The players and ?staff celebrated ?with fans in ?the stadium, lifting ?aloft ?the porcelain bird like a trophy before placing it in front of ?them for team pictures.
