Lahm & Toni fined for indiscipline

Lahm found himself in trouble for a newspaper interview in which he criticised the club's transfer policy.

Toni incurred Bayern's wrath after driving home at halftime following his substitution in their 1-1 draw against Schalke.

"Lahm apologised for his comments in a very open, long and constructive discussion," the club said in a statement.

"We are disappointed because as a substitute captain (Lahm) has a special responsibility for the team and club," said general director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. "So Philipp Lahm is fined a record amount never seen before at Bayern."

"By leaving without any permission, Luca Toni showed an unacceptable loss of discipline," the club said in a statement.
