Shock evening at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich hosts Paris Saint-Germain for the fifth day of the Champions League and both teams need points. Dominant in their respective championships, both Bavarians and Parisians have shown difficulties in this European campaign with already two defeats each on the clock. If the Germans won their two other matches, the Ile-de-France residents recorded a success and a draw. Bayern is therefore 19th with six points while PSG is 25th, and therefore virtually eliminated, with four points and both teams need to win this evening to move up the standings.
After the first 20 minutes of the match, during which Vincent Kompany’s players were rather dominant and aggressive with several good opportunities, a banner was displayed in the stands of the Allianz Arena stadium. Indeed, the Bavarian supporters of the SüdTribune stand wanted to send a scathing message to the president of PSG, Nasser al-Khelaïfi, on which the following message was written: “Football is me? Fuck off plutocratic Al-Khelaifi» with a photo of NAK’s face crossed out. By definition, plutocracy is a system of government where wealth constitutes the main basis of political power.
