Bayern Munich chief executive officer Jan-Christian Dreesen condemned treatment of the club\u2019s fans, who traveled to Spain for the team\u2019s 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League (as captured by @iMiaSanMia<\/a>):<\/p>\n

CEO Dreesen expressed his outrage at the \u201cdisproportionate actions of the Spanish police against our fans\u201d<\/p>\n

This action against our peaceful fans is unacceptable. Such police behavior has become almost the norm at away games in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video of some of the incident is available here<\/a> or here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Traveling to away games \u2014 on any continent \u2014 can always be a risky proposition. Heck, even just venturing into new areas these days can be an issue (just ask those Uber Eats robots<\/a>), but not every big game has to turn into an international incident for fans and local authorities.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, any mistreatment that occurred is just a blip on the radar for this season. Sadly, we know if will likely get worse soon enough.<\/p>\n
