The Championship final is in Munich, but the party or mess is scheduled for Paris. The decision between Inter Milan and PSG this Saturday, at 16h (Brasília), mobilizes 2,000 agents in Bavaria and more than double in the 16th “arrondissement” French capital.
Guilt of Roland Garros, neighbor of the Princes Park, the Paris Saint-Germain headquarters, which will receive 40,000 people to a fanfest with a broadcast of the match. The stadium is approximately 750 meters from the main court of the French complex, Philippe Chatrier, which the event’s director, Amelie Maresmo, minimized in a good mood.
“If there are some disturbances, let’s live with it. And, in theory, it’s not like 10 or 20 goals,” said the former winner of two Grand Slams, saying she trusts police work. Even Novak Djokovic entered the wave, stating a PSG fan and asking the tournament not to schedule his third round match for the decision time-the request was ignored, and the Serb should be on the court.
But it is not just the coincidence of events that worries the authorities. In the semifinal against Arsenal, earlier this month, PSG fans clashed with police and promoted withdrawals in the region. Champs-Elysées Avenue, a traditional celebration point in the French capital, will also be blocked hours before the game, which takes place at 9 pm in European time.
In this case, the recent record is also a source of attention. Last Monday (26), a car broke into the way where thousands of people celebrated the title of the home team’s Premier League in Liverpool, leaving 79 injured, some in serious condition. The driver, a 53 -year -old man, was arrested, but police are still investigating the circumstances of the fact.
In Munich, 90,000 hotel rooms are occupied due to the match this weekend. In addition to Allianz Arena, a place of match, three fanfests will mobilize security in Germany’s third largest city, with 1.5 million inhabitants. The Olympic Park will host 25,000 people for a more neutral thesis festival dedicated to Champions.
The iconic stadium of the installation, which hosted the 1972 Olympic Games and the 1974 World Cup final, brings good memories to the French. It was there that Olympique de Marseille won the country’s only title at Champions. In 1993, he won a 1-0 team of Milan, Milan, in the field that was then from Bayern.
Coincidences aside, in two other Munich points the party will be separated by teams, with 18,000 places for PSG fans and another 16,500 for Inter. The difference is only explained by the presence of sponsors, as the city of Munich itself awaits more Italians in the final. There is a direct line from Milan to Munich.
Bavaria’s capital expects € 50 million net revenue with the sports weekend, where its powerful Bayern is just a host.
