It was announced that the match kick-off had been delayed by 15 minutes due to a signal box malfunction.
However, footage from inside a city centre metro station shared to social media showed chaos erupt before the station was evacuated.
It came as Benfica fans lit up pyrotechnics before throwing them towards a train.
A statement from the Bavarian club said: “Due to the difficulty of many stadium visitors getting to the stadium, kick-off will be delayed by 15 minutes.
“The signal box malfunction has now been resolved.”
A follow up statement added: “Due to a signal box malfunction, there are currently delays in the subway traffic towards the stadium/Fröttmaning.
