Bayern Slams Paris Police Over Forced Fan Convoys, Hours-Long Delays

The club says a last-minute escort order stranded supporters at a toll station with scant facilities.

Overview

  • Paris police required Bayern fan buses to assemble outside the city and enter under escort at a set 17:00 departure, a directive issued the day before the match.
  • Supporters reported hours of waiting at the toll station with one toilet for hundreds and no food or drink available.
  • FC Bayern sought an emergency court ruling overnight but none arrived in time, while PSG and UEFA supported the club’s objections.
  • Some organized groups avoided the checkpoint via long detours to reach the stadium, and the visiting allocation was reportedly reduced to about 2,000 tickets.
  • The club arranged additional drivers so buses could depart after the game despite rest-time rules, as Football Supporters Europe condemned the measures as part of a growing European problem.
