Bundesliga star risks ‘biggest fine in history’ with shocking interview
Hoffenheim striker Andrej Kramaric delivered a scathing post-match interview after his side were thrashed 5-0 at Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The former Leicester City man poured scorn on Hoffenheim’s drab season by labelling it a disaster and ‘s***’ before demanding change at the struggling Bundesliga club.

In that time, the Croatian helped the unfancied club qualify for the Champions League group stages during the 2017/18 season. But his demeanour following Wednesday’s thrashing at the Allianz Arena appeared to show that standards have slipped at the club and left him admitting his post-match rant may see him receive the ‘biggest fine in the history of the Bundesliga’. “I don’t even want to talk about the game, because for me it was clear that this would happen,” Kramaric angrily told ESPN. “This is a picture of the whole season… this one big s*** season. “I’m going to be honest.
