Bayern Munich announced on Monday that it has filed an official complaint with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) against the French police.

This move comes in response to an unexpected decision by the Paris police, who imposed strict restrictions on Bayern supporters ahead of the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

In a statement published on its official website, the club explained:"The Paris police issued a general order on Monday afternoon regulating supporter access and setting up checkpoints ahead of the match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes."

Bayern noted that it was only informed of this decision on the same day, prompting an immediate appeal to UEFA and an announcement that all necessary legal measures would be taken. The club also expressed its gratitude to Paris Saint-Germain for their support.

"The order concerns all supporter buses, which must gather at a toll point outside the city before the match. Other supporters are required to use only public transport to reach the stadium, and all must return to their original means of transport after the game, escorted by police out of the city."

The German club stressed that these restrictions could delay the supporters' return, as buses will only be allowed to leave Paris in the early morning, around 5 a.m., for the journey home.

Bayern Munich is gearing up to face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night in Matchday 4 of the Champions League group stage at the Parc des Princes.
