The hotel choice carried symbolic value for PSG. The French champions had previously stayed at the same venue during the 2025 Champions League final in Munich. On that occasion, PSG produced a historic performance, defeating Inter 5-0 to lift the trophy. The club therefore viewed the location as a fortunate base ahead of their return to Bavaria. By preventing PSG from staying there again, Bayern have removed a familiar setting that had been associated with the Paris club’s greatest European night.
