""Celebrating Bayern fans scaled barriers into a restricted area reserved for pitch-side photographers. A group trampled press photographers in an area between the grandstand and advertising hoardings.""
""UEFA will probe the 'blocking of public passageways,' the 'throwing of objects,' 'crowd disturbances,' and the 'display of a message inappropriate for a sporting event (anti-UEFA banner).'""
UEFA initiated disciplinary proceedings following an incident where fans stormed barriers, injuring several photographers at the Bayern Munich versus Real Madrid quarter-final. Celebrating fans entered a restricted area, trampling press photographers, resulting in injuries including a head laceration and back issues. UEFA's investigation will focus on public passageway blockages, object throwing, crowd disturbances, and an inappropriate anti-UEFA banner. The potential sanctions against Bayern Munich remain uncertain, especially after previous penalties for pyrotechnics use in earlier matches.
