Eleven men wearing identical hooded black robes with white symbols emblazoned on the front have caused a stir after appearing at games hosted by Bayern Munich and Chelsea this Sunday.
The group, who all had their faces painted white with a black triangle on their foreheads, are said to have sat in the crowd at the Allianz Arena and Stamford Bridge on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
During Bayern's 3-2 win over Hertha Berlin on Saturday, the group are said to have made odd synchronised gestures.
A fan posted a photo of the robed men on Twitter:

Some Twitter users have claimed that the group's attendance at both matches was part of a campaign by Samsung, who sponsor Bayern and Chelsea.
