German football club Bayern Munich has apologised after posting a picture that some complained was reminiscent of Auschwitz concentration camp.

The image featured train tracks running up to Bayern’s Allianz Arena below a sign emblazoned with Italian club Juventus’ slogan “Fino Alla Fine” - meaning “until the end” - crossed out in red.

Bayern posted the image on their official Twitter account on Wednesday morning, ahead of their Champions League second-round match against Juventus.

In a statement on the same account, the club wrote: “Unfortunately, our matchday graphic has been misunderstood to represent historic events, something which was never intended.
