There was a moment of shock at the cup celebration in Berlin. Suddenly an ambulance had to drive inside and treat someone. But things seemed to be going well.
RB Leipzig has won a title for the first time in its young history. But at the victory celebration in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, there was a moment of shock. Suddenly paramedics gathered inside, and after a short time even an ambulance drove to the edge of the field. At first it was not clear who exactly needed treatment and why.
According to the ARD report Gerd Gottlob, a photographer needed medical help. Why remained unclear. Many in the stadium may have had memories of Danish international Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest at the 2021 European Football Championship. It quickly became very quiet in the stadium. For a few minutes there was an eerie silence.
It was only around 11:15 p.m. that a stadium announcer was able to give the all-clear and enlightened the spectators via the external microphones. First of all, we want to say thank you for the sympathy in the form of silence. There was a medical emergency, but the patient is now stable and will be taken to the hospital by ambulance shortly. This triggered thunderous applause in the Olympic Stadium. Under the conditions, of course, it was not possible to hold an award ceremony, but the spokesman explained that this will be done immediately.
Berlin Olympic Stadium: Leipzig can be celebrated
A little later, the ambulance left the stadium via the marathon gate and the arena was applauded by the fans, and the DFB Cup award ceremony could begin. After the Freiburgers had picked up their silver medals, the Saxons entered the provisional stage and accepted the golden DFB Cup.
Leipzig had previously defeated Freiburg on penalties. The Breisgauer had taken the lead and had looked like the winners for a long time after a red card for Leipzig, but RB came back into the game through Nkunku and then ultimately showed better nerves from the point. With captain Christian Günther and Ermedin Demirovic, two Freiburg shooters lost their nerve. Günther shot over the box, Demirovic nailed the ball to the crossbar.
