Victor Boniface could be in trouble after a bad gesture in the Supercup final

• Bayer Leverkusen won the national treble with their victory against Stuttgart in the Supercup
• Xabi Alonso's team won its first ever Bundesliga title last season and also won both cups
• Nigerian striker Victor Boniface may have gotten into trouble for his gesture in the match

Victor Boniface may have gotten into trouble after allegedly making a provocative gesture while celebrating his goal in the German Supercup final.

Bayer Leverkusen won the Supercup on penalties after beating VfB Stuttgart, completing the domestic treble. Last season they won both the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal.

Xabi Alonso led the team to a historic title, their first ever, which they won in remarkable fashion by remaining unbeaten throughout the entire season; their only defeat in the last season came in the UEFA Europa League final.

Boniface is investigated for a nasty gesture

Boniface opened the scoring in the 11th minute, but was substituted 30 minutes later in the 41st minute after Martin Terrier was shown the red card.

According to Weltfussball, the Nigerian is said to have shown the Stuttgart team the middle finger after the Werkself won the cup following a 4-3 victory on penalties.

The German Football Association DFB has now summoned him to comment on the alleged gesture, which is considered unfair and provocative.

Referee Tobias Stieler admitted that he did not see the incident and left the investigation to the DFB. This could get the Super Eagles striker into trouble.

According to Ran Fussball, he could be given a hefty fine and banned from Leverkusen's opening game in their title defence against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday.

The former Royal Saint Gilloise striker was key to last season's title win, scoring 16 goals in 23 games despite missing most of the second half due to a groin injury.
