Bayern Munich fans go to any length height to watch their team in the Champions League.

The German champions took on CSKA Moscow, a side that were forced to play the Champions League home game behind closed doors as punishment for racist behaviour from sections of their support last season.

In response, a group of around 55 Bayern fans travelled to Moscow and rented out an office in a nearby skyscraper so they could enjoy a birdseye view of the game.

Here's how the game looked to Bayern fans.

They were joined by Tobias Schweinsteiger (brother of Bastian) and according to Sport1, Bayern Munich paid for the cost of the space once they'd heard about the commitment – and ingenuity – of the fans.

They may not have had a great view but they didn't miss much. Bayern won the game 1-0 thanks to an early penalty from Thomas Muller.

Man City fans need to give the landlord a call.
