OR Bayern it can Benfica prevailed 1-0 for the Champions League, but the atmosphere in the stadium was not all festive, as the evening was overshadowed by the death of a friend of the Bavarians from a heart attack in the stands.
Just before the start of the match, one elderly friend of the team collapsed in the stands. Rescuers immediately rushed to the scene and tried for several minutes to bring him back, while some cloths were placed around him, in order not to become a spectacle for the rest of the fans.
The audience “froze” and even the organized Bayern fans in the stadium remained silent for the remainder of the matchas was the case practically throughout the rest of the stadium, where the atmosphere was nothing like an ordinary Bayern game.
The unfortunate man was finally taken off the field in the 33rd minute and a little later it became known that ended up permanently on the way to the hospital.
“It’s hard to talk about football at times like this. After the match we did not enjoy it as usual“, said the Bayern coach, Vincent Kompany. “We realized there was an incident and noticed the difference in the atmosphere. It’s a pity for the man. It was a nice gesture of solidarity and support from our fans not to continue their well-known party in the stands, a sign of humanitysaid the team leader, Thomas Miller.
