FC Bayern Issues Apology to PSG President Over Offensive Fan Banners

The German club distanced itself from unauthorized signs targeting Nasser Al-Khelaifi during a Champions League match in Munich.

FC Bayern Munich apologized to Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi after fans displayed offensive banners during Tuesday's Champions League match, which Bayern won 1-0.
The banners criticized Al-Khelaifi as a 'plutocrat' and compared him to France's absolutist monarch Louis XIV with the phrase 'Le foot c'est moi' ('I am football').
One banner included the phrase 'Fuck off' alongside a crossed-out image of Al-Khelaifi, prompting strong reactions from the club and media.
Bayern emphasized that the banners were neither authorized nor reflective of the club's values or its longstanding relationship with PSG.
Al-Khelaifi, a prominent figure in global football, holds multiple influential roles, including PSG president, chairman of the European Club Association, and a member of UEFA's Executive Committee.
