Bayern Munich have confirmed they will not appeal against UEFA바카라s decision to ban their fans from the away leg of their Champions League quarter-final. (More Football News)
The German champions were handed a suspended two-year punishment after supporters let-off fireworks during their group game in Copenhagen in October and that was triggered after similar offences during their recent last-16 tie in Rome against Lazio.
Bayern said in a statement on the club바카라s official website: 바카라After a thorough examination of the situation, FC Bayern has decided not to lodge an appeal with UEFA against the verdict, according to which the German record champions will have to play the away leg of the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals without their fans.
바카라The club accepts the decision after the corresponding conditions of the European Football Association were violated in the round of 16 match at Lazio.바카라
Bayern beat Lazio 3-1 on aggregate to reach this season바카라s last eight, with the quarter-final draw to take place in Nyon on March 15.
The club바카라s chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen added: 바카라We have to accept this punishment. Not only were pyrotechnics set off, but also fired deliberately onto the field, directly endangering bystanders.
바카라This was such an explicit violation of the conditions of probation that an appeal is unfortunately futile.
바카라In general we바카라re very happy that we바카라re in the quarter-finals, but the fact we now have to play away without the support of our fans is a big blow.
바카라A small group of individual offenders have done a disservice to all our supporters and the team.바카라
