Hundreds of fans trapped in sweltering conditions when train breaks down on way to watch Man City’s defeat to Bayern Munich

Around 500 football fans endured a horrific journey after a train broke down in sweltering conditions heading to the Bayern Munich – Manchester City clash on Wednesday.

One fan was hospitalised and several others were treated for heatstroke as they travelled to Munich to watch boss Pep Guardiola return to the Allianz Arena for the first time since taking over as City boss.

As temperatures rose to an unbearable 50 degrees inside the carriages, air-conditioning failed causing hundreds of fans to panic and try any means necessary to force themselves free.

Video footage shows fans forcing the doors open before scrambling out and walking to the nearest train station where they were given water and treatment for the effects of the blistering heat.

To rub salt in the wounds, it meant the train lines were blocked causing hundreds of furious fans to miss the entire duration of the match.

Man City suffered a 1-0 defeat to Carlo Ancelotti’s men thanks to a goal from Erdal Ozturk but despite the loss, Guardiola was positive with his side’s performance.

“I am so happy, we did many things we spoke about well and in the right moment – that’s why we cannot forget which team we played,” the Spaniard said.

“We have many young players in the team and you’ve seen them here – all in all, I’m satisfied with what they’ve shown me.”
