UEFA has apologized to FC Bayern Munich fans for banning a humorous banner telling supporters of AS Rome to “go home” in Latin during a Champions League match in September.
Bavarian fans wanted to hold up a sign reading “Romans go home” (Romani ite domum)
in reference to the classic Monty Python film “Life of Brian,” which has a scene showing a zealous centurion correcting the Latin grammar of Brian’s anti-Roman graffiti. You can see the article here – including apology.
