VfB ultras attack FCB fans! A fan brawl erupted before the southern derby between Stuttgart and Bayern, leaving two police officers injured
Ahead of the southern derby between FC Bayern and VfB Stuttgart, ugly scenes unfolded outside Munich’s Allianz Arena.
According to a Bild newspaper report, fan groups clashed outside the stadium of the German record champions roughly two hours before kick-off (5:30 pm).
Stuttgart ultras allegedly ambushed Munich ultras at their designated meeting point on Südkurvenplatz, sparking immediate confrontations. FCB supporters responded in kind: several hundred fans, some masked, charged the attackers. The situation quickly escalated into violent clashes.
Several hundred police officers deployed to contain the violence; two were injured while trying to cordon off the VfB ultras. Order was eventually restored, and around 150 Stuttgart supporters were arrested. According to Bild, some had travelled to Munich solely to participate in the disturbances.

Bundesliga: A southern classic against Bayern Munich looms. What lessons did you learn in the reverse fixture, and how can you hurt them?
“I’d put it like this – even in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup we held our own well. In the end Bayern showed the quality they have. You could see it in the first Bundesliga game this season [when Stuttgart lost 5-0] as well. We have to play like we did in the first half. We have to really stand up to them and somehow try to stop their individual quality. I think we can manage that. Of course, it’s going to be very difficult.”

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany expecting big battle vs. VfB Stuttgart
FC Bayern vs. VfB Stuttgart could be a tough test for the Bavarians.
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany knows the importance of winning the Bundesliga, but if everything breaks right and the team is able to clinch on Sunday, the head coach will not to be too fixated too much on it just yet.
“The title only matters at the end of the season. We’re playing against one of our toughest opponents. Looking at the recent matches, they’ve always been very close. I expect a physical game. Stuttgart are not only technically gifted but also physically very strong. They can also be dangerous with long balls. They have the second-best attack. It’s also a good game for the fans; there will be a great atmosphere,” said Kompany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
