We look back on March 8, 2020. On the 25th matchday of the 2019/20 season, FC Bayern Munich wins 2-0 against FC Augsburg. It wasn’t really anything special, but it was a special game. It was the last home game to date that FC Bayern played in front of 75,000 spectators in the sold-out Allianz Arena.

After that, the global corona pandemic brought gaming operations to a standstill, after which there were only ghost games at first. It was played for the first time in front of spectators in the Allianz Arena at the European Championship this year. 14,500 spectators were admitted to the games. FC Bayern was allowed to play the preparatory games for the 2021/22 season in front of up to 20,000 spectators.
