Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Bayern Munich Celebrate Oktoberfest With Bevvy of Beauties (Photos)

Bayern Munich is feeling good these days. The German soccer club is on a mission to regain domestic supremacy and win the UEFA Champions League in 2013.

Hitting those lofty targets requires hard work and focus, but even Bayern’s star-studded squad needs a break from time to time. What better way to blow off a little steam than by going to Oktoberfest?

Just as they do off the field, Manuel Neuer, Franck Ribery, and Bastien Schweinsteiger led the way, as Bayern attended the 179th Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich. The whole team joined them on the annual pilgrimage, and they brought along some special guests.

Bayern’s players were joined by their beautiful wives and girlfriends for an afternoon of beer, pretzels and local humor. Most of them dressed the part — in traditional German garb — making for some interesting sights.

Bayern’s Bundesliga campaign is off to a perfect start. Seven straight wins out of the gate matches its own record, so why not have a little fun ahead of the international break and decisive fall games?
