BERLIN - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich sold more than a million shirts last season for the first time in the club's history, according to their marketing director Andreas Jung.

"Last season, we sold 1.3 million shirts, more than all the other Bundesliga clubs put together. It's a new record," Bayern board member Jung told German broadcaster Sport1.
Jung said "no player in particular" had been the most sought after name to adorn a jersey by fans this season, "which just shows how attractive the team are."
While Mario Goetze's number 19 shirt is proving popular after he scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, Spain star Xabi Alonso's number three shirt is also selling well, "but the others are not far behind," said Jung.
"And no goalkeeping jersey has been so prized as that of Manuel Neuer," he added without giving details.
Bayern are currently four points clear in the Bundesliga and have qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League with two games to spare as they are already confirmed winners of Group E.
