November 28, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich have issued a formal apology to Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi following an inflammatory banner displayed by the German club supporters during Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League match. The incident occurred at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern defeated PSG 1-0 with a goal from Kim Min-jae.
The controversial banner directly challenged Al-Khelaifi’s multiple roles within the football administration, questioning his involvement as a club owner, UEFA Executive Committee member, European Club Association chairman, and television rights holder through beIN Sports.
The message employed provocative language that personally targeted the PSG president. Bayern’s official statement categorically distanced the club from the unauthorised banner, emphasising that the inflammatory message did not represent the club’s official stance.
They highlighted their commitment to maintaining respectful international relationships and professional conduct within football governance.
The match itself was marked by significant sporting drama, with PSG reduced to 10 men after Ousmane Dembele received a red card approaching the hour mark. Bayern’s strategic performance and disciplined gameplay ultimately gave them victory.
