Bayern Munich get Audi supercars delivered to Bundesliga-winning stars for 15th year in a row

Boss Carlo Ancelotti was driven round in £120,000 R8 while Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and Co picked up new motors

BAYERN MUNICH stars pick up their new Audi supercars for the 15th year in a row - as boss Carlo Ancelotti is driven round in a £120,000 R8 V10.

The German champions have been granted new motors from the car manufacturers of the same country every year since 2002.

And Franck Ribery. Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Co were on hand to pick up the keys ahead of the new season starting on Friday night.

Every squad member gets a new car - just like the Leicester stars who lifted the Premier League trophy last year.

Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha forked out £2million on his Foxes.

But the Bayern players get their motors as company cars.

That is part of a deal in place since 2002, when Audi became a shareholder in the German giants.

Each motor comes with a personalised number plate which marks them out as official Bayern cars.

In the 'M-DM' reg, the 'M' stands for 'Munich' and the 'DM' for 'Deutscher Meister', which translates as 'German champions'.

Bayern begin their bid for a fifth straight league title against Werder Bremen at the Allianz on the back of a thumping 5-0 start to their German Cup run.
