Stamford Bridge crowd trouble as Bayern fans storm barrier at Chelsea

Hordes of Bayern Munich fans surged through a barrier outside Stamford Bridge in chaotic scenes before their Champions League clash against Chelsea .

One fan wrote on Twitter: “Scary moment ahead of the Champions League tie this evening in London, Bayern fans rush the barriers at Stamford Bridge.”

Bayern Munich head to Chelsea in a repeat of the 2012 Champions League final, which the Blues won on penalties.
