UEFA Fines Bayern €89,625 Over Fan Incursion, Keeps Allianz Arena Open for PSG Semi

The ruling serves as a warning under Bayern's probation following injuries to photographers during the late‑match surge.

Overview

  • UEFA fined FC Bayern €89,625 on Thursday and declined to order a crowd ban, so the semifinal against Paris Saint‑Germain in Munich can be played before a full house.
  • The penalty breaks down as €40,000 for the pitch‑side incursion, €30,000 for an inappropriate banner, €14,000 for blocked passages, and €5,625 for objects thrown.
  • The case stems from the quarterfinal second leg, when fans pushed to the advertising boards after Michael Olise’s 90+4 winner and knocked photographers over, with police reporting at least four injured.
  • Bayern leaders called the scene euphoric rather than a full pitch invasion and apologized for the injuries, and the fan group Club Nr. 12 also issued an apology.
  • UEFA had placed Bayern’s Südkurve under probation after pyrotechnics in December 2025, and repeat trouble could bring sector closures even though this ruling treated the photographer injuries as a separate incident.
