Bayern Munich lodges protest with UEFA over fan treatment in Paris ahead of Champions League…

> The Paris police prefecture issued a last-minute order the day before Bayern Munich’s Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes stadium. All 15 fan buses carrying the record champions had to assemble at a tollbooth outside Paris on the A4 motorway and were only permitted to depart for the stadium at 5 p.m. under police escort. Even buses that had already arrived in Paris were forced to leave and proceed to the tollbooth. The facilities there are woefully inadequate, consisting of only one toilet and offering neither food nor drinks. Furthermore, the treatment of the fans falls far short of any acceptable standards.

We secured a court hearing overnight for this afternoon in Paris, where our representatives challenged this ruling. After the hearing, we were informed that the written judgment would be issued within a few hours. Since this will likely be too late to change anything about this outrageous procedure, it is yet another slap in the face to our fans.”

> Because the late arrival time will shift the bus drivers’ driving hours, departure will not be possible until six to seven hours after the match. This regulation forces fans to remain in the parking lot in front of the stadium until departure. In addition to these unacceptable conditions, many fans will be unable to reach their workplaces the following day.

> Paris St. Germain and UEFA support FC Bayern in this matter; FC Bayern will not let this matter rest.
