Last night, Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League (1-0). But this victory was spoiled by the banners displayed by German supporters against Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. “Minister, club owner, TV rights holder, member of the UEFA executive committee and president of the ECA: all this at the same time? »we could read on the first two. On the next, it was written: “Is football me? Fu.. off, plutocratic Al-Khelaïfi.” Which was not to the taste of Bayern Munich, who published an official press release this Wednesday.
“During FC Bayern’s Champions League match, banners were displayed in the Allianz Arena against Paris Saint-Germain and its president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. FC Bayern would like to apologize and feel offended when its opponents and their representatives in its stadium feel personally attacked in this way and in this tone. The club would like to clarify that these banners have not been authorized by FC Bayern and do not reflect its position. They do not correspond to the long-standing good relations between the two clubs. The tone of these banners also goes against the style of FC Bayern and the respectful relationship the club has with its international partners.” The message got through.
