Overview
- Police say several Bayern supporters tried to enter the away sector with fake or irregular tickets around 16:15, triggering checks before the disturbance.
- During identity checks a steward was assaulted, and officers deployed pepper spray and batons after reported solidarity actions and attacks on police.
- Roughly 29 to 30 criminal cases were recorded, including trespass, document forgery and assaults, with five officers injured and further injuries tied to pyrotechnics.
- Deputy police chief Achim Stankowitz says video shows a planned effort to force entry and urges both clubs to take action against identified offenders.
- The Südkurve München fan group disputes the police account and alleges excessive force, while many Bayern fans stayed in the concourse in solidarity and Dortmund’s Südtribüne displayed a banner supporting away fans.
