Berlin, Germany, 23 September – Bayern Munich could win more silver as they face Sevilla on Thursday for the UEFA Super Cup, but traveling German fans have been warned to reconsider before heading to Budapest, with head coach Hansi Flick questioning. Should the match between coronavirus epidemics go ahead? .
The Champions League winners toured Hungary in a 22-match winning streak that lasted until February, when they won the Champions League, the Bundesliga and the German Cup.

Flick admits he “doesn’t understand enough” because UEFA still insists on a match there, “but we’re not the ones who decide.”
On Tuesday, Bavarian state president Marcus Soder announced tougher rules “that specifically affect the Super Cup” for Bayern fans to travel.
“Everyone should think again that traveling is wise,” Soder added.
Supporters must be tested for Coded-19 for two weeks before and after the trip to Budapest.
“This way we want to prevent the potential risk of infection,” Soder said.
The match at Puskas Arena in Budapest is expected to be watched by only 500 Sevilla and 1300 Bayern fans.
