Bayern Munich Ordered To Partially Close Section Of Stadium For Manchester United Game

Bayern Munich will have to close a section of the Allianz Arena for their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester United for displaying an illicit banner.

The German champions have also received a €10,000 fine after their supporters committed the offence in the last-16 home leg against Arsenal on March 11.

"The Uefa Control and Disciplinary Body has decided to order the partial closure of the Allianz Arena," an official statement reads.

"In particular, the closure of sector 124 for Bayern's next Uefa competition home match, namely their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester United FC on 9 April. 

"And to fine the German club €10,000 for the displaying of an illicit banner."

The banner in question referred to Arsenal as "Gay Gunners" and featured a crude drawing of the club's German midfielder Mesut Ozil.
