Partners of Bayern Munich players are furious after being denied tickets for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final clash against Arsenal.

The German giants travel to England's capital for the first leg of the two-match knockout tie on Tuesday, with only home fans being allowed at the European encounter.

Bayern were handed a suspended sentence by UEFA after several issues with pyrotechnics being set off in the stands at various games, the most recent incident occurring in the group stage clash with Lazio.

The punishment means no Bayern fans will be allowed to attend the upcoming match at the Emirates and Arsenal have also warned any supporters selling tickets to rival fans could be sanctioned.

However, despite the fan ban, there was still optimism amongst players wives and girlfriends who were hoping to enjoy a luxurious trip to London.
