During yesterday’s Champions League match against Benfica (1-0), Bayern Munich’s ultras suddenly fell silent, ceasing their loud support for the team. This was due to a medical emergency as stadium medics rushed to assist a fan who had suffered a heart attack. Today, even sadder news has emerged.
According to Bayern’s official website, the fan passed away on the way to the hospital. In light of this tragedy, the club has declared a day of mourning.
In tribute to their fan, Bayern has limited its social media posts about the Champions League victory.
Reminder: The start of yesterday’s game against Benfica was delayed by 15 minutes, as many fans were late arriving due to road issues.
