Bayern Munich fans storm barriers ahead of Chelsea Champions League clash amid reports of arrests at Stamford Bridge
BAYERN MUNICH fans have been filmed apparently storming the barriers outside Stamford Bridge – with reports of several arrests being made.
Footage of a number of Bayern supporters pushing and shoving ahead of tonight’s Champions League tie against Chelsea has been shared online.
One witness said it appeared the visiting section were objecting to being searched.
It was also reported that an increased police presence had rushed to the away end just minutes before kick-off.
One photo showed a small number of cops wielding batons as they brought the situation under control.
It has been claimed that the fracas was caused by those supporters who turned up without tickets.
Tobias Altschaffl, chief reporter of respected German publication Bild, said a “massive police operation was in process”.
Another account claimed to have seen two people “looking for medical attention” amid the “heavy security”.
Chelsea are hosting the Bundesliga giants in the last-16 of Europe’s top competition.
