“Bayern in mourning: death overshadows 1-0 against Lisbon. In the Champions League preliminary round match against Benfica Lisbon, Bayern Munich’s 1-0 victory was pushed into the background due to a sad event. A medical emergency in the Allianz Arena stands overshadowed the match from the start. Due to this, the Südkurve team refrained from the usual loud cheering for their team, and the club also limited its coverage of this match. About an hour after the final whistle, the German champions received the sad news that a fan had died on the way to hospital. FC Bayern sympathizes with the mourning relatives,” the club from Munich said in a statement.
Even on the television broadcast there was an unusual silence compared to what is usually seen during Bayern’s home matches. Unfortunately, now we know the reason for such behavior on the part of the fans. It was similar in the case of training staffs and players playing on the pitch.
However, the match was fully played. However, the Munich club is in mourning after such a tragic event at its own stadium.
