As with many Champions League matches, there was some tomfoolery in the streets on the eve of the game.<\/p>\n
Last night, Real Madrid\u2019s team hotel was the subject of some potential disruptions as a few alleged Bayern Munich fans lit fireworks outside of the building. Spanish outlet El Chiringuito TV captured the video, which is below:<\/p>\n
Sport1 journalists Johannes Behm and Stefan Kumberger<\/a> captured more detail on what happened:<\/p>\n Some Bayern Munich fans were determined to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to give their club the best possible starting position for the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid. On Tuesday night, fireworks were set off near the Real Madrid team\u2019s hotel in Munich \u2013 presumably to disturb their sleep.<\/p>\n The fireworks originated from the direction of the Olympic Park, which is directly adjacent to Real Madrid\u2019s team hotel, the Leonardo Royal Hotel. This gave the troublemakers a chance to escape quickly. Footage also shows hotel security personnel rushing towards the fireworks, apparently without success.<\/p>\n It\u2019s doubtful, however, that the Bayern Munich fans\u2019 actions were successful and that the Real Madrid stars were deprived of sleep. Because the four-star hotel is located on the sometimes busy Moosacher Stra\u00dfe, the rooms have soundproof windows with multiple panes of glass. Furthermore, the players are housed in a rear wing of the building.<\/p>\n As previously stated, this kind of thing has \u2014 unfortunately \u2014 become par for the course. Bayern Munich has been subject to this kind of thing several times before as well.<\/p>\n If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Join the conversation!<\/p>\n
