Julian Nagelsmann always sets fashionable accents.

Not every FC Bayern Munich fan liked the blue sweater he wore against Bremen.

Munich - This is how FC Bayern Munich imagined its football end of the year in the Allianz Arena: With a 6-1 win over Werder Bremen, the record champions cemented their lead in the table.

Of course, coach Julian Nagelsmann was satisfied with his team.

The only downer: Sadio Mané's injury.

"We have to X-ray that," the coach explained shortly after the final whistle.

The Senegalese received a blow to the head of the shin.

Very painful and very dangerous, because: The area below the knee is extremely sensitive, professionals often get bruises or even chipped bones.

An exact diagnosis was not yet available.

Mané had to be substituted after just 21 minutes.

Just a few moments later, Bayern were already in an unassailable lead: the score was 4-1 after 28 minutes, the game was over.

Accordingly, as reported by tz.de, the attention of some fans was drawn a little away from the sporting events.

The focus of the observations: Nagelsmann's outfit!

Because the 35-year-old put on a sweater at the last Bayern home game of the year, which left a question mark with some supporters.

Under his black jacket, a color flashed through that is actually associated with arch-rival TSV 1860 in Munich: blue!

The sweater was already being discussed on social networks during the game.

On Twitter it said, among other things: "Nagelsmann's sweater is killing me" or even more clearly "how shit does Julian Nagelsmann actually look like in this light blue sweater today?"

Another user even addressed FC Bayern directly and asked: "Why is he wearing an 1860 sweater?" Nagelsmann played for the Munich Lions in his youth and also gained his first coaching experience there.

But the chapter has been closed for over ten years.

Nagelsmann with a blue sweater against Bremen – to get in the mood for Schalke's guest appearance?

As usual, the Bayern coach should take such statements relatively calmly.

The three points that bring Bayern even closer to the autumn championship were important to him.

There is only one game left before the World Cup break: the guest appearance at bottom side Schalke.

Maybe Nagelsmann just wanted to get his team in the mood for Saturday evening when tens of thousands of people will also be dressed in blue in the Veltins Arena.

Either way: Nagelsmann in blue is anything but new, so far he has often been seen in a blue-grey jacket - including in Bayern's 3-2 win over Hertha BSC a few days ago.

However, the blue sweater in the Allianz Arena was a novelty.
