They're top of the league and playing the best football in Europe - so why shouldn't Bayern Munich raise a glass?

Pep Guardiola led the annual Bayern Munich trip to Oktoberfest at the weekend, and while perhaps more used to a glass of Sangria, appeared to be embracing the Bavarian culture. The manager was picture wearing traditional lederhosen and a hat as he sank pints of beer at the festival.

He was joined by his team and their wives, girlfriends and children to mark the last official day of celebrations at the annual beer festival.

With the international break beginning and the team one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund at the summit of the Bundesliga, it seemed the usually strict Guardiola allowed his team to relax. Those pictured enjoying the day out included Thiago Alcantara, David Alaba, Arjen Robben, Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
