FC Bayern’s 1-0 win over Benfica in the league phase of the Champions League on Wednesday night was overshadowed by sad news as a medical emergency in the crowd at the Allianz Arena clouded the game from the start. Out of respect, the Südkurve refrained from their usual vocal support of the team, and the club also reduced its coverage of the match.
Around an hour after the game ended, the club received the sad news that the fan had passed away en route to the hospital. FC Bayern is in mourning alongside their relatives.
