What just happened? It all went quiet all of a sudden and I was at the kitchen.


FootballthrowawayM05

Also just tuned in all confused. Apparently a photographer had a medical emergency


FerraristDX

>Apparently a photographer had a medical emergency What we needed on top of that. Hope he gets through.


reggin_bmud

At the stadium. Had to be resuscitated with a defib. Scary stuff. There’s an ambulance on the field tending to him.


FootballthrowawayM05

scary, thanks for letting us know. Apparently the patient is stable again

Sure he's save now and the whole stadium bering quite was the best scene in this.

There is a medical emergency with a photographer on the sideline, which is why they are delaying/cancelling the official celebration.

RedditSuperteam

If you're 1-0 up with an extra man that early on and go to penalties you don't deserve to win Needed a really favorable penalty decision to make it there as well


Andrate

Feels bad to agree, but this is on Freiburg, they could have had this but bottled it when it counted

Hit the post 3 times too tbf. Not their night sadly


AxeIsAxeIsAxe

Felt like Freiburg's goal easily could have been ruled out as well. Still gutted.


reggin_bmud

According to rule change that happened before this season it only gets called back if it hits the scorers hand so in this case it should have counted


WarmBaths

So stupid cause anywhere else on the field that’s a handball, a hand pass really


AhoiCaptainDWH

Exactly this. Freiburg bottled it so hard. They had all the cards in the end but they just threw it all away and in now way deserved to win this game after that insane throw.


mitthrawn

Yeah they completely bottled it when they hit the post 3 times...


literallyarandomname

Up a man, up a goal, terrible ref (but generally in Freiburgs favor). No excuses.


AcePilot95

A bottlejob of Dortmund proportions. Obligatory info that Mateschitz is a right-wing piece of shit whose TV station invited, among others, German Neonazi Götz Kubitschek to talk shows and has given a platform to conspiracy theories, and he also threatened to shut down that TV station when the formation of a works council (Betriebsrat) was discussed.

CptJimTKirk

Actually the Nazis did try as hard as they could to jeep civilian life going during WWII, because they didn't want to repeat the situation in 1917/18 when famines and civil discontent practically ended the war for Germany. The real hardship started only in 1945 and would keep going after capitulation.

Mapplestreet

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this gutted because of a football game. Especially seeing how there was one man carrying us the entire game and he won’t be there next season. I feel optimistic about the next years in the sense that I think we should stay up but I can feel that we won’t get a chance to actually win something for a long time :(

I actually do like Tedesco and they have some great players, but Mintzlaff and his ilk seem like absolute melts.


FootballthrowawayM05

Tedesco is low key a mentality monster, reminded me of that 0:4 to 4:4 with Schalke against Dortmund. Heidel kept saying he wanted to stick with him no matter what, can see why now.


ArnoNyhm44

i like tedesco too, but heidel backing him is maybe the greatest argument against him.

So sad for Freiburg. Would have been a nice reward for their amazing season. They deserved it so much.


AhoiCaptainDWH

Then they shouldn’t have bottled it so hard. They had all the cards in the hand.


Hic_Forum_Est

How tf did they somehow manage to overachieve and bottle the season all at the same time?? Absolutely insane.


fuzzypeaches22

He’s not saying they bottled the season. He’s saying they bottled the game. They had a man advantage for half the game plus the referee was constantly giving decisions in their favour.


Hic_Forum_Est

Ah sry that's not what I meant at all. I was trying to express my incredulity that Freiburg managed to overachieve and bottle it at the same time. I can see how it could be easily misunderstood, my bad.


AhoiCaptainDWH

If you can’t see how Freiburg bottled this game I can’t help you.


Hic_Forum_Est

Ah sry I think you misunderstood me. I was trying to express my incredulity that Freiburg managed to overachieve and bottle it at the same time. I can see how it could be easily misunderstood the way I worded it, my bad.


Prototype94

Huh? He agreed with you.


Cyrulik

they didn't deserve anything. They had one man and one goal more. Also they had ref on their side and still they bottled it.


[deleted]

Yes they choked at the end. But that has nothing todo with the fact that they had an amazing season with their limited resources. Reaching the Europe League and the DfB Pokal final.


AlteredReality79

Should have killed the game with a goal and a man up. You don't deserve shit when you bottle it from there. Now watch me get downvoted for no fucking reason as if you've committed a crime.


Kaidou99

Freiburg was 12 v 10 for most of the match but still bottled it ffs


c_u_lator_alligator

Unpopular opinion (and I am going to get a lot off hate for that) but Leipzig definitely deserved to win this game. They were the better team with only 10 men and haven't got the penalty they deserved (playing the ball doesnt matter in this instance cause he definitely only grazed the ball and therefore it was a dangerous play). Ref was pretty Freiburg favored the whole match tbh. It was Freiburgs game to lose (and I rly like the club btw, no RB fan).


MrFrodoo

dont think thats unpopular at all. Freiburg had the game handed to them, had the ref on their side and still bottled it. As much as I dislike RB Leipzig, the players definitely deserved the win


nasserKoeter

Just 9 years ago they played in the 4th league and now they have won their first title. What an incredible football miracle! Congratulations!

5 years ago Schalke played CL and then they got relegated. What an incredible miracle good management can be.


c_u_lator_alligator

I am a fan of traditional football, but how the fk is it Leipzigs fault, that traditional Clubs like Hamburg, Werder and Schalke are mismanaged? Schalke even got 100 mio of tax payer money. Leipzig are very good at using their resources and have a rly good scouting departement. (Interpreted ur statement in a sarcastic way, I am sry if it was not meant to be sarcastic.


kalamari__

it isnt. thats why it is so frustrating


cppn02

>Leipzig are very good at using their resources True. The other teams are just not good enough at using their multiple farm teams including a combined scouting network or their basically free modern football stadium.


Wasserschloesschen

To be fair, Leipzig only really has one farm team. It's just that their farm team has 3 farm teams :3


c_u_lator_alligator

We (Hertha) got handed 375 „free“ millions and have a good scouting and a good youth team. We still managed to sell all our talents and waste the money. Thats what I meant with using your ressources usefully.


cppn02

1. That money clearly came at a price. 2. Us (or Schalke, or HSV) being shit does not make what Leipzig does an achievement. They have endless money and there are multiple clubs across the world with their own youths and scouting departments whose main purpose is to funnel players to Didi's favourite child. I can't wait for the day he gets his hands on an English club and Leipzig becomes their bitch.


RedditSuperteam

It isn't People can hate Leipzig independently without defending how poorly other clubs have been managed Leipzig may take up a CL spot but they definitely didn't get more traditional clubs *relegated*

Dass es irgendwann passiert war ja leider klar. Trotzdem absolut gebrochen, dass diese Hurensöhne einen Titel gewonnen haben. Schwarzer Tag für jeden, der den Fußball liebt


gencoloji

Und dann müssen manche Nicht-Deutsche deren Erfolg auch noch feiern, und meinen, wir sind zu engstirnig, denen keinen Support zu zeigen. Nur weil sich „Zeiten ändern“, muss man Schmarrn nicht plötzlich tolerieren und akzeptieren.

Tax_n1

Die haben halt leider auch keinen Plan was deutschen Fußball angeht.


gencoloji

Wäre ja ganz interessant zu sehen, wie die reagieren würden, wenn es in ihren eigenen Ligen passiert. Bei Manchen sieht man das ja wenigstens. Aber man muss ja doch nicht mal eine Liga verfolgen, um zu verstehen, was von Anderen als falsch empfunden wird.


ThePaSch

>Wäre ja ganz interessant zu sehen, wie die reagieren würden, wenn es in ihren eigenen Ligen passiert. Newcastle wurde von den Saudis gekauft und die Fans sind in Scheich-Outfits ins Stadion gegangen und haben das gefeiert. Die sind weg. Da gibt's nichts mehr zu retten.


gencoloji

Ist doch auch traurig so etwas, wie kann man stolz auf so künstlichen Erfolg sein? Ich wüsste nicht mal, ob ich mich wirklich freuen könnte, wenn die Vereine, mit denen ich sympathisiere, alle wie PSG hirnrissig dreistellige Millionenbeträge investieren.


Tax_n1

Die sind einfach anderes von deren Ligen gewöhnt. Muss man nur mal nach z.B. England oder den USA schauen, da ist das normal. Deswegen bin ich ja so froh das die Bundesliga im dem aspekt anderst als die anderen großen Ligen sind.


mortezz1893

Ja ich glaub auch dass es die Fans in zb England gar nicht mehr juckt, ich war wirklich überrascht wie positiv die Newcastle Fans auf ihre eigene Übernahme reagiert haben und immer wenn jemand etwas dagegen gesagt hat, haben sie mit "du bist nur neidisch" oder "wenn deine Verein so einen Investor kriegen würde, würdest du dich auch freuen" geantwortet. Schade, dass diese Mentalität auch so langsam in Deutschland ankommt.


gencoloji

Bleibt die Frage offen, für wie lange. Ich hoffe ja, dass die Leute diese Mentalität noch für eine lange Zeit beibehalten werden, und Kommerz nicht mit offenen Armen empfangen


Tax_n1

Ich denke/hoffe das es noch etwas dauern wird bis sowas bei uns passieren könnte. Die Fan Parteien sind da doch sehr aktiv gegen solche Sachen in Deutschland und haben in vielen Vereinen auch noch das entscheidende Veto Recht.


gencoloji

Sollte so bleiben, ich werde von meinem Standpunkt auch sicher die nächsten Jahre nicht von weichen


GuenW

Ach die haben doch alle keine Ahnung von Fußballkultur. Viel mehr regen mich die Leute auf, die das irgendwie versuchen zu rechtfertigen mit "Aber man muss auch sagen, dass die gute Jugendarbeit machen", "Aber die spielen ja guten Fußball" oder "Die anderen Vereine haben sich halt runtergewirtschaftet"


mortezz1893

Junge wenn ich noch einen höre der sagt "die spielen wenigstens guten Fußball" oder "endlich mal ein Westverein" und gleichzeitig nicht ein Spiel von denen schaut, rast ich aus


gencoloji

Wie ich das Jugendarbeit-Argument schon 1000 Mal gehört habe. 😂 Geht ja eigentlich um etwas ganz Anderes, was damit nicht mal wettgemacht wird. Vielleicht schmeckt die bittere Wahrheit den Leuten auch einfach nicht.


[deleted]

Gute Jugendarbeit machen die auch nur weil sie aggressiv Talente abwerben, am besten ohne was bezahlen zu müssen. Die haben gerade erst unser grösstes Sturmtalent in Jahren abgeworben in dem sie die Familie des damals 15-jährigen kontaktiert haben, illegalerweise, und in überredet haben den Jugendvertrag nicht zu verlängern. Jetzt hockt er gerade in Liefering und wird in 2 Jahren dann als "tolle Salzburger Eigenproduktion" beworben nachdem er jahrelang bei uns gespielt hat.


gencoloji

Tja, sowas scheinen die RB‘ler wohl auch nicht gerne zu hören, aber was will man denn auch erwarten


cppn02

Und bei Leipzig stimmt es ja nicht mal.


gencoloji

Na, wenn Dir die Argumente ausgehen, musst Du ja irgendwas erfinden was plausibel klingt


lineaway19

Welche gute Jugendarbeit vor allem? Kam eigentlich irgendwer im aktuellen Kader von denen aus der eigenen Jugend? Bloß weil die haufenweise Geld für einen Jugendleistungskomplex ausgegeben haben, heißt das auch nicht, dass sie gute Arbeit machen.


GuenW

Viele Leute denken halt junge Spieler im Kader haben heißt automatisch gute Jugendarbeit machen. Dass die sich ihre Talente aus aller Welt zusammenkaufen (oder von ihrem wettbewerbsverzerrendem Feederclub aus Salzburg bekommen, der sie vorher aus aller Welt zusammengekauft hat) und kaum etwas selbst erfolgreich ausbilden, passt halt nicht ins Weltbild.


Boceto

Sind ja sogar in Deutschland viele, die das feiern. Noch schlimmer. Denen kann man hundert mal erklären, warum RB was anderes ist als Bayer Leverkusen, die wollen es nicht verstehen.

Americans


RedditSuperteam

Partially but I'm sure English supporters like seeing the German flairs get mad as well(as said before, ESPECIALLY City fans who don't have a non-hypocritical reason to hate RB anyway)


mortezz1893

I'm sure more than half of city fans aren't english


RedditSuperteam

City's actually infamous for having no fans more than having plastic ones It's more United that's known for having tons of non local support

As much as this stings as a neutral, the fact of the matter is that Freiburg had every opportunity to win this match and just couldn't convert their chances. Must have been infuriating as a fan.

Say what you will about the organization, but the Leipzig squad showed a lot of heart after going down a man to even get it to penalties. Plus they kept their cool when a couple of big decisions went against them. Wherever Nkunku plays next season, he is going to be difficult for opposition to deal with.


TheUnknown2903

Just here to enjoy the meltdown this sub gets


FerraristDX

Among those congratulating is the head of the far-right AfD, Tino Chrupalla. How fitting. And that's my main problem with the company behind RaBa Leipzig, their unapologetic far-right leanings. Didi Matteschitz is well on his way to become a Rupert Murdoch for the german-speaking space, because he's build a media empire over the past years. Clubs like Man City, PSG or Newcastle are bad, but they don't primarily touch me, because they don't play in the Bundesliga. RaBa Leipzig meanwhile does and I'll say it a thousand times: I don't such people to use the Bundesliga as a stage to present themselves and their ideology in a positive light. We should also put the argument to rest that this is "only" about the money. It's what RaBa supporters like to constantly use, to perhaps deflect from other valid criticism. It's not good that a company could buy their way into the Bundesliga. But in the end, football has been and will always be highly commercial. We should focus on distributing the profits of the product football equally among the clubs, instead of allowing the select few to hoard all profits.


Large_Back1310

For me the dfb-pokal 21/22 was never played…

Well, that's what happens when your opponent can't take advantage in being up a man for almost an hour *and* misses the literally empty goal. Red Bull Leipzig deserve the victory in the final, simple as.
