“It’s going to grow, it’s going to grow…” Congregated at the Fröttmaning metro station, located a stone’s throw from the Allianz Arena, Parisian supporters are losing patience slightly this Tuesday at nightfall.
While they had arranged to meet at 5:30 p.m. to arrive in groups at the Bayern Munich grounds, the PSG fans waited a little over an hour and a quarter before setting off and rallying, like one man, the sublime stadium of the leader of the Bundesliga lit in red for the meeting of the 5th day of the Champions League.
A long wait, which they killed by reviewing the repertoire of songs usually chanted at the Parc des Princes, by setting off a few firecrackers, and which finally transformed into a lovely communion during the traditional procession organized before each League meeting champions. Despite the recommendations of the police regarding the use of smoke bombs, not always appreciated by the locals, the Parisian fans used them in abundance and it was under a thick red cloud that they carried out their march.
Surrounded by a large cordon of very vigilant German police officers on guard, the faithful of the capital club took advantage of a tailor-made route traditionally used by fans of visiting clubs, along a railway and at away from the huddled crowd, to guarantee everyone’s safety. The lovely demonstration of this procession, however, did not escape the average spectators placed on a footbridge overlooking the rails and who took out their phones en masse to immortalize the moment.

In total, just over 3,500 people made the trip to watch the clash against Harry Kante’s partners. And if the meeting is not yet decisive, the extremely important nature of it makes this gathering even more delicious for Parisian fans. “Tonight is the time to be big!” We are aware of our limits this season. We know that it’s more difficult than in some years, but we have to show a minimum of pride and solidarity, says Romain, Moise Kean jersey on his back. » “I especially ask for efficiency,” laughs his friend Anthony. It is perhaps this evening that the offensive click will finally arrive. »

An arrival celebrated by a few fireworks in the Munich sky. A preview of the show put on by their favorite team this Tuesday evening?
