From the fans’ point of view, Leverkusen is definitely NOT a derby against Gladbach. But there was plenty of tinder around Bayer’s 4-0 gala against Borussia …
It was about injuries and a verbal foul from the stadium director: After Bayer scored the fourth goal, Gladbach’s goal anthem (“Maria, I like it loud” by Scooter) was played. A completely unnecessary provocation!
The scandal now occupied even the executive floors. Rudi Völler (61) apologized to the Gladbachers.
Manager Max Eberl (47) to BILD: “I phoned Rudi Völler about the goal anthem, he apologized to us. Rudi explained to the goal anthem that there were always different songs played after goals and that there was obviously an oversight. It was not the intention to provoke us or to show us off. Rudi and the club are of course very sorry for the injuries. “
