An IS-linked propaganda account has issued threats ahead of tonight's big meeting between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga, writes Bild.
The threat consists of an image that singles out fans outside Bayern's home arena Allianz. The picture also says "after the match" in Arabic.
"We are aware of the threat and are investigating it carefully. As it stands now, we have no concrete knowledge that there is a risk. We will monitor the match with increased staffing," writes the police in Munich on X.

The threats against journalists
Iranian journalist attacked at his home in London
The Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati has been stabbed outside her home in London, British media reports.
Zeraati is a news anchor on the Persian-language international television channel Iran International. The channel's spokesperson Adam Baillie tells the BBC that the channel has received several threats from the regime in Iran since the protests following the death of Mahsa Amini broke out 18 months ago.
- Family members in Iran have been taken in for questioning. In recent months, this has become common and the interrogations more aggressive, he says.
The London police's counter-terrorism unit is investigating the incident but does not want to name any conceivable motive. Zeraati's injury status is stable. He himself has posted a picture of X in which he makes a victory gesture while lying in a hospital bed.

Managers at Russian LGBTQ-friendly bar terror classed
Diana Kamilianova and Alexandre Klimov, who ran the LGBT-friendly Pose bar in the Russian city of Orenburg, have been classified as "terrorists and extremists" by Russian authorities, reports AFP.
Earlier this month, police raided the bar and videos showed both patrons and employees being harassed. Shortly afterwards came the news that Kamilianova and Klimov had been arrested.
In November, the Russian Supreme Court classified the LGBTQ movement as "extremist", effectively banning the movement.
The legal case against the bar managers is expected to be the first to be based on the Supreme Court's decision. They are accused of "extremism" and "the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations". If convicted, they face ten years in prison.
The Kremlin has introduced a series of ultra-conservative laws since the invasion of Ukraine

The EU's agricultural policy is seen by almost every second voter
The European peasant protests seem to have strong support among many EU voters. According to an opinion poll by Ipsos with over 26,000 participants, almost every second person is dissatisfied with the countries' common agricultural policy, writes Euronews.
While one in two think the Union has a negative impact on the protection of European agriculture, only one in five respondents think support for farmers is strong enough.
Alan Matthews, an expert on the EU's agricultural policy CAP, which makes up a third of the budget, sees two potential arguments from respondents who are negative: they believe that climate policy is bad for competitiveness or that trade policy fails to prevent imports that disadvantage farmers at home.
