Niklas Süle Reveals Why He Karate-Kicked Bayern Hero Serge Gnabry After 7-2 Win Over Spurs

Serge Gnabry was Bayern Munich's star man on Tuesday night as the German giants dismantled a hapless Tottenham Hotspur, but it didn't stop the 24-year-old from being on the receiving end of some harsh treatment from his teammates.

Der FCB were celebrating the victory at the final whistle in front of their travelling supporters when German centre back Niklas Süle was caught on camera performing a flying two-footer on Gnabry, much to the surprise of the visitors in the crowd. Meanwhile, another player appeared to boot the youngster's well-earned match ball into the stands.

BT Sport posted a video on Twitter of the incident, and when questioned about his horror challenge, Süle explained that it was actually a revenge tackle, as reported by the official Bayern Twitter.
