Bayern Munich have lodged a protest with UEFA about security measures implemented by French police ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayern issued a statement late on Monday saying an official protest had been lodged with governing body UEFA about measures adopted at “short notice” by the Paris police prefecture.
The measures, issued on Monday, included requiring all Bayern fan buses to wait outside the city and be accompanied to and from the Parc des Princes by a police escort.
The measure also requires all Bayern fans to “travel to the stadium exclusively via public transport”.
Bayern said fan buses would only be able to leave the Paris region after around 5am local time on Wednesday, despite the match finishing at around 11pm the night before.
Hosts PSG were supportive of Bayern’s protest, the statement outlined.
“For FC Bayern, the short notice of the decree is unacceptable, as all the relevant information has been available for weeks,” the statement read.
