With a curious anecdote, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge caused amusement on Italian TV.
The chairman of the board of directors of FC Bayern who is on TV Italy 1 was connected by video, spoke about an incident after the European Cup match between Inter Milan and Glasgow Rangers in 1984.
At that time Rummenigge had scored a wonderful goal, but the German referee Volker Roth denied recognition.
Rummenigge and his teammates were downright angry, the then Inter-star recalled: “In the dressing room I had to hold back Alessandro Altobelli, who wanted to kick Roth in the buttocks.”
Douglas Costa? Rummenigge: “Not yet decided”
The Bayern boss also spoke about the current transfer policy, who will make room for Oliver Kahn in a year.

When asked whether the record champions at Douglas Costa would take the option to buy, Rummenigge said: “We haven’t made up our minds yet, but we’re very happy with him. He’s really good on the pitch and off.”
If you look at the statistics, the Brazilian has remained rather pale so far. Costa, who Munich borrowed from Juventus Turin before the season, only scored one goal in eight Bundesliga appearances.
In general, because of the corona situation, one still has to wait and cannot plan early, says Rummenigge: “We just don’t yet know what we’re going to do on the market, also because the pandemic has mixed everything up.”
