Bayern Munich Will Play The Champions League Quarter-Final Without Fans (SEE WHY)

The fans of Bayern Munich won’t have the opportunity to witness their team’s live performance at the stadium during the away leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinal match.

Earlier this year, Bayern Munich faced penalties and received a two-year suspended sentence due to supporters igniting fireworks during the group stage encounter with Copenhagen. Unfortunately, a similar incident occurred during the match against Lazio when fireworks were once again thrown onto the pitch.

Bayern have accepted a ban for their away fans in the next round of the competition having breached the terms of their probation. The club’s CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed that they will accept their punishment.

He said:-

“We have to accept this punishment. Not only were pyrotechnics set off, but also fired deliberately on to the field, directly endangering bystanders. This was such an explicit violation of the conditions of probation that an appeal is unfortunately futile. In general we are very happy that we are in the quarter-finals, but the fact we now have to play away without the support of our fans is a big blow. A small group of individual offenders have done a disservice to all our supporters and the team. However, I am confident that our team will find a way to deliver the top performance that will be needed in the quarter-finals.”

Bayern qualified for the quarter-final beating Lazio 3-1 on aggregate, they will find out their quarter-final opponents on Friday, March 15, 2024.
