Fan Dies During Bayern Munich's UEFA Champions League Win Over Benfica

Bayern Munich is mourning the death of a fan who attended the team’s 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Bavarian club said early Thursday morning that it received the news that the fan had died while being transported to the hospital. Bayern fans did not sing or chant during the game out of respect for the person. The atmosphere in Bayern’s stadium was noticeably muted some minutes after kickoff when it became apparent there was a medical emergency requiring the attention of paramedics and police officers.
