Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano (28) was involved in an incident where an acquaintance was injured by a thrown object from the stands during a match he hosted for hometown friends.

Germany's 'Bild' reported on the 29th (Korean time) that during the first leg of the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinal between Munich and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) held at Paris's Parc des Princes, an acquaintance of Upamecano was hit on the head by a flying bottle in the stands and sustained injuries.

According to media reports, Upamecano's family and acquaintances were seated in the lower section of the main stand, an area adjacent to the PSG hardcore fan zone. During the match, one of Upamecano's acquaintances was struck on the head by a heavy whiskey glass bottle thrown from the stands. The man suffered a laceration on his forehead, bled heavily, and received emergency treatment on-site.

Videos posted on social media (SNS) showed the victim clutching his injured area while surrounding fans protested toward the direction from which the object was thrown. The incident occurred shortly after Upamecano scored a goal to make it 3-5 in the second half.

The media stated, "It is highly likely that a PSG fan, angered by the cheers following the goal, threw the bottle," and added, "Objects have been thrown toward Munich fans in this area on multiple occasions before."

Today's match drew attention for the showdown between Upamecano and Ousmane Dembélé, who are French national team teammates and close friends. The media reported, "The two players, both from Évreux in Normandy, personally arranged tickets, transportation, and jerseys to invite a large group of hometown friends and family. However, the thoughtless behavior of the spectators marred this meaningful reunion."

Upamecano delivered a solid defense against Dembélé today. He received the second-highest rating among all defenders across both teams, a 6.8 (according to FotMob).

Meanwhile, Munich lost the match 4-5 after a chaotic game. Munich, aiming for their seventh overall title in six years, now faces a difficult situation where they must win the second leg.
