Sven Ulreich Faces DFB Investigation After Insult

During a heated Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern's substitute goalkeeper Sven Ulreich was caught on video insulting Leverkusen's sporting director Simon Rolfes, shouting 'Sit down, Rolfes, you w*****!' from the bench. This incident, which occurred during a 1-1 draw, has sparked significant attention and could lead to disciplinary action from the German Football Association (DFB), which is reportedly reviewing the matter. Rolfes claimed he did not hear the insult, emphasizing that individuals are responsible for their words. If charged, Ulreich could face a fine, similar to a past incident where Kevin De Bruyne was fined €20,000 for a verbal outburst. Bayern Munich has stated that Ulreich's comments were made in the heat of competition, and he has expressed regret over the choice of words. The outcome of the DFB's investigation remains uncertain.
