FC Bayern told PSG to beat it and find a new hotel.
While the competition on the field between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain has been hot, the two clubs have been complimentary and even gasp! friendly off the field.
That relationship might have taken a minor hit, though, as Bayern Munich denied PSG the use of the Infinity Hotel, which is where the Bavarians typically stay on the night before games. Les Parisiens wanted to use the hotel as its base because it was where they stayed last season before winning the Champions League at the Allianz Arena per Bild and L’Equipe (via @iMiaSanMia):
Out of superstition, PSG asked to stay at the Infinity Hotel in Munich ahead of Wednesday’s return leg against Bayern, the same hotel where they stayed last year when they won the Champions League. However, the Infinity Hotel is where Bayern usually stay before their home games. Located just 20 km (around 15 minutes) from the Allianz Arena, it’s ideal for traveling to the stadium. For Bayern, it was out of the question to let PSG have it.
Vincent Kompany and Christoph Freund insisted when they were asked about that: “This is our city. We’re staying at Infinity.” – “We’re not giving up our home hotel. This is our home game and our city.”
Therefore, PSG will have to look for another hotel and will stay at the Andaz hotel at Schwabinger Tor – also conveniently located near the A9 motorway to the Allianz Arena.
