Overview
- FC Bayern filed a formal protest to UEFA over late-announced Paris police measures requiring fan buses to stage outside the city and other supporters to use public transit, a stance PSG backed as Bayern also weigh legal options.
- Vincent Kompany lauded Luis Enrique’s “revolutionary” shift to a collective PSG ahead of Tuesday’s game, with both clubs on nine points in their Champions League group.
- Schalke right back Adrian Gantenbein is suspended for the Elversberg match after his fifth booking in Karlsruhe, and Finn Porath is questionable following a head injury.
- Coach Miron Muslic highlighted back-to-back goals conceded from set pieces as a concern and called KSC’s equaliser the gamechanger after Schalke lost 1–2 on a last-minute strike when Porath had just returned from off-field treatment.
- Agent Tim Jerat confirmed multiple enquiries for Soufiane El-Faouzi, with reports linking Dortmund, while Muslic welcomed the attention and Schalke retain control through a contract running to 2029 with no release clause.
