Arsenal fans take turns PUNCHING a Bayern Munich supporter who went against the UEFA stadium ban to watch the Champions League game.
It came during Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw at the Emirates, with a number of videos surfacing of the trouble breaking out in the stands.
Despite Bukayo Saka initially putting the Gunners ahead, with Bayern turning the game around with goals from Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane. But Leandro Trossard levelled 15 minutes from time, meaning it’s all the play for second leg.
Bayern fans had been prohibited from attending the match due to a previous incident where a few individuals had thrown fireworks onto the pitch during their victory over Lazio in the round of 16.
However, it seems that a small number of Bayern supporters were able to gain access to the ground on Tuesday with a clip shared on Twitter showing several Arsenal fans taking turns to physically assault a Bayern supporter while security personnel escorted him away.
The targeted fan appears visibly frightened, shielding himself by covering his head with his hands.

Prior to the match, Arsenal had issued a warning to their supporters, urging them not to sell their tickets to any Bayern fans.
Following UEFA’s ruling, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: โWe have to accept this punishment.
“Not only were pyrotechnics set off, but also fired deliberately onto the field, directly endangering bystanders.
โThis was such an explicit violation of the conditions of probation that an appeal is unfortunately futile.
โThe fact we now have to play away without the support of our fans is a big blow.
“A small group of individual offenders have done a disservice to all our supporters and the team.โ

Social media users reacted after seeing Arsenal fans take turns PUNCHING a Bayern Munich supporter who went against the UEFA stadium ban…
@KukuKramer: i knew some would finesse their way in you canโt stop these lot ๐
@BitsnThoughts: Need this to happen to the people who gave them tickets
@JGBallSquadmum1: There were a number of fans in the clock end who came down to the front with Bayern flags on about 90 mins, just by block 27
@AKERS_WORLD: I expected this, they had the cheek to celebrate when they scored. I saw a couple of them getting ejected though, they obviously thought Arsenal was a soft touch
@Jambo14AFC: Hahah this bloke was on the tube with me and my dad earlier before the game and said he had tickets in the arsenal end and laughed ๐คฃ
@BigBearKentlaar: Whoeverโs membership was on the tickets needs to be banned from the Emirates. Selling your ticket to a Bayern fan for tonight means youโre no fan.
@HarryAfc86: Whoever sorted them tickets is just as bad a mong and I hope they never come to a game again
@stovemachala: This is why I have an issue with England and the way some fans conduct themselves. Anywhere else in Europe you can sit in stadium wearing the away team shirt and you won’t get beat up.
@CAE_2906: Bayern fans (banned) went to an all Arsenal crowd game, lifted a banner in the 80th minute and people are crying about them getting digged in the head? Play stupid games get stupid prizes.
@GS203989: How thick have you gotta be as a bayern fan to celebrate a goal in a stadium full of english fans ffs
@Abz_Swervo22: Hope they keep that same energy for the ST holders (bastards) that sold him the ticket.
@Kelsss574: Completely over the top if they arenโt causing any trouble what does it matter, scummy arsenal fans
@olwiggy: Canโt condone violence but I would like to know what steps @Arsenal have now taken to cancel the season tickets or membership tickets of the scum who resold the tickets
@TLBRAY92: So a few things here @Arsenal said they would ban anyone selling munich fans tickets. But also all those assaulting this munich fan need lifetime bans from all stadia.
anthonye73_: Were they causing trouble in the home end? If not, what’s the problem?
slick_villa: Embarrassing from arsenal fans
thesmoldan2.0: Fuckin grow up
charliestrudel: This is so embarrassing. Hitting people who donโt want trouble.
sawford: The Arsenal fan with the cap backwards must be proper hard ๐๐ผ He looks 6 stone dripping wet ๐ Ashburton army head boy the dribble โ๐ผ๐ฆ
lugs75: I hate this so much people wanting to watch a match every one has done it at one point sat in the home end but when you see people from 25 rows up running down to throw punches had a few jars absolute whoppers
_james_tyler___: How on earth did they get tickets ๐
