Bayern Munich pose with beer for team photo in promotional shoot

Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola gathered his players for an alternative team photo as they posed with glasses of beer in a promotional photoshoot this week.

As part of the German club's sponsorship deal with Paulaner brewery, the players ditched their kits and donned traditional lederhosen.

The team, which includes new signing Arturo Vidal, looked in good spirits as they held pints of beer, but made sure that they did not take a sip.

Franck Ribery refrained from posing with the alcoholic beverage as it goes against his Islamic religious beliefs.
