Nobody would ever accuse a Pep Guardiola side of parking the bus but tonight, Bayern Munich’s coach driver may well have crashed one.

The team’s preparations for their Champions League Group F game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium were dented, if not written off, by a minor collision in central London on Tuesday afternoon.

Images on social media appear to show the bus attempting to manoeuvr past a black Mercedes with some difficulty.

Twitter user @_cKCity claims to have seen it ‘slam’ into the car which was waiting to turn out from a junction. The collision appears to have been minor and there are no reports of injuries.

According to the Irish Independent, an angry Pep Guardiola emerged onto the street after the incident and could be seen shouting.

It follows another image posted on social media which appeared to show that the team's bus had been issued a parking fine.

Bayern currently sit top of Group F after two wins in two games. Arsenal, who have lost both their opening fixtures, will be hoping to take something from the game tonight against the Bundesliga champions.
