We already knew that there was a kerfuffle surrounding Bayern Munich’s bus when it arrived at the stadium to play FC Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Barca fans — allegedly — hurled insults and derogatory language (clutches pearls) at the bus full of players and club personnel, but that was not all.
According to a report from Bild, FC Barcelona fans also threw stones at the bus, which could have resulted in a very dangerous situation. Here is the report from Bild:
Previously unknown persons had attacked the team bus as it drove up the Montjuïc mountain to the Olympic Stadium (where Barça is currently playing due to renovation work at the Camp Nou, return planned for early 2025, 105,000 seats in the future).
The cowardly attack from behind only came to light after the German record champions returned to Munich.
According to BILD information, the Bayern bus was damaged by the stone throwing. A hole was apparently made in a window and damage was caused to the bus driver’s door. Fortunately, no one on the bus was injured!
The damage was not made public on the day of the match, only a day later. FC Bayern confirmed the incident when asked by BILD.
The Munich team is not letting the stone attack go unpunished: The club immediately reported the incident to UEFA. This means that the European football association will now investigate the incident in Barcelona.
Well…not a good look for FC Barcelona fans (not that they care after their team pulled out a dominant 4-1 win).
