BAYERN Munich’s Carlo Ancelotti could be in hot water with the German FA (DFB) after showing the middle finger to Hertha Berlin fans who, he claims, spat at him.

    “Yes, I made the gesture after being spat at,” Bayern’s coach told broadcaster ARD on Sunday.

    Hertha fans were enraged after Bayern equalized with a Robert Lewandowski goal in the 96th-minute at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium on Saturday to snatch a 1-1 draw, which left the Bavarians eight points clear in the Bundesliga.

    The middle finger gesture happened as Ancelotti walked towards the players’ tunnel in Berlin. Kicker magazine said the DFB is poised to investigate both Ancelotti and Hertha’s goalkeeper Rune Jarstein, who kicked a ball that struck Bayern’s Xabi Alonso. (SD-Agencies)
