Bayern Munich's 35th Bundesliga title celebration at the Allianz Arena on Sunday was marked by an unusual star: a porcelain cockatoo. This unofficial team mascot, now a fixture for the Bavarians, also graced the players' championship-winning T-shirts.
The team secured their latest league title with a 4-2 win over VfB Stuttgart, with four matches remaining. Players and staff celebrated with fans, holding the porcelain bird aloft like a trophy and featuring it prominently in team photographs.
This unique mascot was originally taken from a Munich restaurant by Bayern players during the previous season's title celebrations. The restaurant owner later officially gifted the statue to the team.
