Bavarian breakdown – fans cannot see game

The first test game of the new season against Olympique Lyon shows FC Bayern exclusively through its own stream. But there are problems.
Frustration with fans of FC Bayern: Because the in -house live stream for the test game against Olympique Lyon was not available for thousands of followers after the kick -off at 3:40 p.m. on Saturday, fans could neither log in nor complete a new subscription. The breakdown was only remedied in the middle of the first half. The reason for this was apparently an overloaded server. The game against the former French series master was exclusively broadcast via FC Bayern TV. A subscription costs around four euros per month.
There were several frustrated supporters on the net who asked Bayern posts on the social media profiles for help or let their anger run free.
“The site has been down several times in the past, it would be great to rethink that in the future if you want to continue to bring test games to the man,” wrote a fan at X – and was therefore one of the more reserved speeches. Another said: “I spend four euros a month to see the game and then the servers are overloaded?”
After all: With a statement in the middle of the first half, Bayern kept their fans up to date, informed about progress in the elimination of difficulties. “Due to technical problems, there are currently delays in the login on FC Bayern TV Plus,” wrote the German record champions at 4:09 p.m. at X. “We are working on a solution. We ask the inconvenience to excuse.” Shortly afterwards, the registration for the livestream then worked again.
