MUNICH — Bayern Munich is mourning the death of a fan who attended the team's 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League. Bayern fans chose not to 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 an incident requiring the attention of paramedics and police officers. The Bayern supporters' group Club Nr. 12 said its members would "not be supporting as usual today because of an emergency medical intervention. Life comes before sport." Bayern later said it received the news that the fan had died on their way to the hospital.
