JAKARTA Supporter Bayern Munich unfurled a banner containing protests over the postponement of the 2022/2023 European Champions League group stage match due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The banner was unfurled by supporters of the German giants when their team won 2-0 over Barcelona's team on the second matchday of Group C at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, September 14 in the morning WIB.
In the banner, Die Roten fans wrote one sentence very sharp. They openly said the delay had a negative impact on football fans.
"The postponement and ban of the last minute match was due to the death of a noble [Queen Elizabeth]. Respect fans!" the protest reads as in a photo shared by ESPN journalist Mark Ogden.
Ogden claimed that the postponement of the Rangers versus Napoli match was at the core of the protests. That was after it was revealed that Napoli fans would not be allowed to watch at home to Rangers due to a lack of security personnel.
To be fair, later in the second match at Napoli headquarters, Rangers supporters will not be allowed to travel to Italy.
"B Bayern supporters protested the impact of Queen Elizabeth II's death in this match. The match between Rangers versus Napoli seems to be the core of today's protests," Ogden wrote.
The match between hosts Rangers against Napoli was supposed to take place early Wednesday. However, the lack of resources for the police forced the match to be postponed for 24 hours.
The matchday of the two Group As is scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 15. The two teams will duel at the Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, Scotland, at 02.00 WIB.
Elizabeth II's death had a huge impact on football. Not only in the European Champions League, all matches in English football over the weekend were also postponed due to the death of the Queen.
