Some players from Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt, who lit Bengali fires at the victory celebration on the balcony of the Frankfurt Römer, are threatened with consequences. As a spokesman for the Frankfurt police said on Friday, the matter had been documented for “subsequent, secure criminal prosecution”. Live television footage showed some of the footballers lighting red torches during the celebration.
Fireworks were also lit by fans on the Römerberg. According to the police, rockets flew directly into the crowd. According to the information, the burning of pyrotechnics was prohibited during the celebration. The German Bundesliga side, coached by Oliver Glasner and Martin Hinteregger, won the Europa League final in Seville against Glasgow Rangers on Wednesday.
Only on Tuesday did the German Football Association confirm that it had launched an internal investigation into Werder striker Niclas Füllkrug for burning pyrotechnics. He is said to have waved a red Bengal fire through the air at the promotion celebration on Sunday in the midst of Bremen supporters in the Weser Stadium.
