exclusion of the FC Bayern south curve and high fine
In the next Champions League home game against Union Saint-Gilloise, FC Bayern will play in front of a partially empty fan curve.

According to BR24Sport information from the fan scene The Ultras wanted to provoke exclusion from the probably insignificant home game against Union St. Gilloise in January in order to then be able to go into the knockout phase without any prior pressure.

The Munich fans were because of that Similar use of pyrotechnics in the premier class home game against Bayer Leverkusen in March already been under observation. Now the probation has been extended. Nothing came of the hoped-for “clean slate”. Because further pyrotechnic actions under probation could be punished even more harshly in the future.
Eintracht Frankfurt is also punished
