The video of the Bayern Munich fan allegedly caught sniffing coke on live TV has gone viral
A video of a Bayern Munich fan being captured on camera while the game was happening and he was sniffing cocaine went viral online. The internet was up for the visuals and saw the man when the cameraman swiftly changed the shot.
On camera, a fan of Bayern Munich appeared to stuff a mystery powder up his nose during Wednesday night’s match between his team and Aston Villa.
Bayern Munich fan allegedly caught sniffing coke on live TV during Champions League match vs Aston Villa, video goes viral
The man was one among the thousands of traveling Bayern fans for their Champions League encounter at Villa Park, as shown on TNT Sports’ broadcast coverage.
During the first half of the European tie, the man was observed chanting alongside another supporter, while holding a packet in his hand. He then stopped chanting and spilled the contents onto his knuckle before reaching down and appearing to sniff it. While it is yet to be ascertained what the substance was on the man’s arm, many believe it was coke given the speed with which the camera panned view.
Before anything could be seen, the camera quickly returned to the contest, where the score remained 0-0. The first half of the match ended in a draw, with Villa’s Pau Torres goal disallowed following a close decision on offside. Before contributing to the goal’s build-up and sending Villa Park into a frenzy, Jacob Ramsey had strayed just past the defensive line. However, the goal was eventually reversed.

This marks Villa’s first overall since 1983 as well as their first participation in the competition since it was renamed the Champions League.
Before their Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Villa paid a moving homage to club great Gary Shaw. The 63-year-old 1982 European Cup winner passed away in September following a brain injury sustained in a fall.
Shaw scored 79 goals in 213 games for the team he played with as a child. In the 150-year history of the team, he is thought to be among the best attackers.
In addition, Villa honoured the legendary player on Wednesday night by adding his name to the team sheet in the match program, ahead of a rematch of the championship game from 42 years ago.
Shaw’s name appears at the bottom of the roster, with a Champions League trophy emblem next to it, while the other players’ numbers are displayed next to their names.
