Bayern is about to play a Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain in an away game on Tuesday night. The Paris police issued a temporary restriction order on Bayern's fan bus yesterday. Bayern officially issued a statement on Tuesday saying that the club has held hearings in local courts to oppose the measure, but it is expected that the court's decision may still be too late.

Bayern's statement read: "The Paris Police Department issued a temporary administrative order the day before Bayern's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes, requiring all 15 Bayern fan buses to gather at a toll station on the No. 4 motorway outside Paris and can only drive from there to the Parc des Princes under police escort at 17:00."

"Even those who have arrived in Paris in advance The bus was also asked to leave the city and go to the same toll station. But there, the sanitary facilities were extremely inadequate, there was only one toilet, and there was no food or drink supply. In addition, this way of treating fans completely violated all standards. "

Bayern CEO Drayson said: "This approach is unprecedented. We worked overnight in Paris for a court hearing at noon today, and our representatives were listening. The executive order was questioned at the hearing. After the hearing, we were told that the verdict would be issued in writing within a few hours. As it is expected that it will be too late to change this outrageous practice, this is undoubtedly another slap in the face for our fans."

Bayern's statement also stated: "As the arrival time was delayed, the return trip of the bus driver was delayed accordingly. This will not happen until six to seven hours after the game. This executive order forces fans to stay in the parking lot in front of the stadium before departure. In addition to these unacceptable conditions, it means that for many fans they will not be able to reach their workplaces the next day. "Both Paris Saint-Germain and UEFA support Bayern Munich in this matter, and Bayern said they will never ignore this measure."
