UEFA Cup 2nd round 1st leg. Not a meaningless game, then. Perhaps Bayern supporters thought Norwich was an unknown side - after all, journalists only mentioned that Norwich's main attraction is that it was the city where mustard was made.

Digging a bit into the history and looking at the team, it wasn't even a bad side: https://www.playmakerstats.com/match.php?id=291602

What's more ridiculous is that Bayern lost 2 years before that to FC Kobenhavn - a club now playing in the 6th Danish league, and having no big names back then. The lineup for that match looks a bit more like Bayern fielded their B setup... yet, losing 2-6 is quite the feat! https://www.playmakerstats.com/jogo.php?id=292098

The mustard thing was probably a big deal for such a sausage obsessed bunch
