Bayern Munich supporters storm the barriers at Chelsea after fans get arrested prior to last night’s clash in the Champions League.
A video, uploaded to social media site Twitter, shows the travelling fans force their way through the struggling security staff, who were reportedly trying to avoid being searched upon entry at the Premier League ground.

Photos also showed an increased police presence for the tie, with officers holding and using their batons in an effort to contain supporters.
It is understood the reported trouble was also caused by fans who showed up without tickets and tried to gain entry.
German publication Bild reports that a ‘massive police operation was in process, while the Athletic claims that several arrests have been made.

One witness said: “Heavy security for the travelling Bayern Munich fans at Stamford Bridge tonight.
“Just saw a couple looking for medical attention, one who’d lost a shoe and stewards calling for the ejection of anyone who appeared drunk. All tickets being checked before the gates.”
