Sports News] During this round of Bundesliga competition, Bayern Munich secured
a 3-1 victory over Monchengladbach at home. However, the match was notable for
the display of numerous banners at the Allianz Arena, expressing opposition to
foreign investment in the Bundesliga. The German Football League Association
(DFL) had previously planned to collaborate with financial company CVC and
investors to sell some broadcast rights to private companies, which caused
discontent among German fans. In recent Bundesliga games, German fans have been
actively protesting against the DFL by throwing debris onto the pitch and
displaying banners. During the Bayern Munich versus Monchengladbach match,
Bayern Munich fans held up multiple banners to boycott foreign investment. Some
of the slogans on the banners included phrases like “How much kickback can
DFL officials get from dealing with sponsors?”, “Good for business,
bad for conscience,” and “Saudi capital’s backdoor in the
Bundesliga.” Additionally, Bayern Munich fans protested by throwing chocolate
gold coins onto the pitch. These actions reflect the dissatisfaction of German
fans towards the involvement of foreign investment in the Bundesliga, raising
concerns about the potential impact on the league and its values.
