This Tuesday at 9 p.m. (CET), Paris Saint-Germain faces Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (the second leg is on May 6). According to Ici Paris, PSG will have 2,300 away fans in the stands.
“To manage the event—and accommodate more than 2,000 Bayern Munich fans—the prefecture has deployed a significant force, with seven police units mobilized, representing between 560 and 700 officers from the riot police (CRS) and the mobile gendarmerie.
On the pitch and in the stands, there is no particular antagonism between the two clubs’ supporters, which greatly reduces concerns. Nevertheless, recent incidents involving Parisian ultras, notably the brawl on the sidelines of the match against Angers (3-0) this past weekend, have prompted the authorities to remain vigilant.”
This is understandable, as the Munich supporters are coming in large numbers, respecting the capacity limit imposed by UEFA, for this highly anticipated match. There is, in any case, a large and loyal fanbase for a club with such a rich history. Added to this is a very successful period, marked by attractive football and victories. It’s also about facing another European giant for a place in the Champions League final, in what promises to be a spectacular match.
Just like the atmosphere, for that matter. We eagerly await this evening, which we hope will be free of any incidents off the pitch. And, ideally, with a great Parisian victory on the pitch in order to gain an advantage for the return leg.
