“When it comes to sunscreen, we have therefore paid attention to maximum protection.

“So we know for sure that we have a sunscreen that protects us continuously and with which hardly anything can burn.

The issue according to Bild first started around December 2021 while Bayern were preparing to take on Barcelona in the UCL.
