A big, big fright.
Tuesday evening, before the kick-off of France-Germany, a Greenpeace activist, arrived above the stadium in a microlight type machine, almost crashed in the stand.
After hitting a television cable, he struggled to restore control before grazing a grandstand and crashing, without damage, on the lawn of the Allianz Arena.
Two people were still injured.
On Wednesday morning, Greenpeace apologized on Twitter: “This action was never intended to disrupt the game or hurt people.
We hope that no one has been seriously injured.
Our actions are always peaceful and non-violent.
Alas, not everything went as planned, we are sorry.
"

After the meeting, Didier Deschamps, at the forefront of this incident, admitted to being afraid.
“While taking refuge with Guy (Stephan), I hit the bench.
I have a little bump, it's nothing, he said.
We came close to the drama.
It could have been more serious.
It doesn't have to be.
Fortunately, that has no consequences.
"
On the German side, we were also quite pissed off.
“This person has put themselves in danger and hurt others.
From our point of view this is unacceptable, said the German Federation via its spokesperson, Jens Grittner.
The consequences could have been much more serious.
