Fans of Bayern Munich have figured out a unique way to bypass the strict UEFA disciplinary rules, at the cost of fines for the club's leader.

The use of pyrotechnics during the remaining match of the Champions League against Sporting (3:1) was not a manifestation of extreme hooliganism, but became a tactful move, aimed at canceling the sanction.

On the right is that Bayern were under the “smart term” of UEFA. This meant that if the attack were to be destroyed, the fires would automatically lead to the ban on the departure of the patients for the upcoming European Cup match.

The patients planned everything in advance:

they wanted to provoke punishment immediately, in order to cause disqualification for a less important match against the Belgian Union, which is not of critical importance. In this manner, they “cleared” their history in order to punish them before the most important stages of the tournament.

This decision led to heated discussions: on the one hand, the club would again have to pay fines, and on the other hand, the fans would guarantee themselves the opportunity to support the team in the final battles of the season without fear of disqualification.
