Bayern Munich fans protest over ticket prices at Arsenal

Pep Guardiola says Arsenal fans will be "taken care of" in terms of ticket prices when they visit the Allianz Arena to play Bayern Munich.

The assurance comes despite fans of the German side being charged a minimum of £64 to see their side compete at the Emirates last night. Those ticket prices led to a protest from Bayern fans, who only entered the stadium five minutes after kick off.

Banners in the away section declaring "£64 a ticket but without fans football is not worth a penny" were applauded by home supporters when the Bayern fans eventually took their seats.

After the match, Guardiola acknowledged that Gunners fans would not be overcharged when they head to Germany for the return match on November 4.

He said: "I will speak with (Arsene) Wenger for next time to make it cheaper for our fans.

"We will take care of Arsenal fans in Munich with a good price. They can travel."

On the pitch, Arsenal won the contest 2-0, with goals from Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil keeping their hopes of qualification alive.
