During the football classic between Germany and England, there was an incident of racism in the spectator block of Munich’s Allianz Arena last Tuesday. The alleged perpetrator is now under investigation.
Incident in the stands: At the end of the Nations League game between Germany and England, according to a report by Sportbuzzer, there was a racist incident in the stands. A man from Block 109 is said to have insulted the English Dortmund professional Jude Bellingham, who was lying on the ground, several times with the words: “Get up, you n****r!”. The score had just fallen 1:1 and the atmosphere heated up – which apparently also spurred the man on to this derailment.

No civil courage: When a viewer then asked him to stop, his violence was directed against him. And although the ranks around the hate-spreading man were occupied, according to information from the ” Tagesspiegel ” no one intervened when he became violent. The sentence “You belong in the gas chamber, you should be gassed” is said to have fallen through before he hit the viewer in the face.
Statement from the DFB: The German Football Association (DFB) confirmed what happened on Thursday. “During the game in Munich’s Allianz Arena, a spectator of the game was racially insulted and physically attacked,” said the DFB, without giving details. According to the Munich police, the alleged perpetrator is a 27-year-old from the Thuringian district of Gotha, as the “Tagesspiegel” writes. The officials are investigating because of bodily harm and possible incitement to hatred.
