A Bayern Munich player, who is a convert to Islam, is reportedly furious for being doused with beer after the German giants won the Bundesliga trophy by beating Augsburg 2-0.
Although mid-fielder Franck Ribery, who shuns alcohol as it is forbidden by his religion, had warned his team-mates to keep any drinks far away from him before the game, however, his teammate and Bayern defender Jerome Boateng unloaded a massive pitcher of beer over his head, New York Daily News reports.
