😡 Even a chair flies onto the pitch: VfB fans furious at BVB stars

There are simply some defeats that hurt more than others. Stuttgart’s 2–0 home loss to Borussia Dortmund was certainly especially painful for both the players and the fans.

Throughout the entire match, VfB were clearly the more active team, but they came up against a strong Black-and-Yellow defense. There were hardly any really clear-cut chances at all – until deep into stoppage time.

With last-minute goals from Adeyemi (90+4) and Julian Brandt (90+8), the visitors snatched all three points very late – something that hardly anyone truly believed would happen beforehand.

But in those furious final minutes, there was also plenty of trouble between Stuttgart’s home fans and the BVB players.

The players celebrated their goals pretty close to the VfB home end in the MHP Arena. Karim Adeyemi celebrated with his finger in front of his mouth – the so-called “silencer” gesture – toward the home fans.

After the second goal as well, BVB celebrated right in front of the stands. Both players and fans saw the goal celebrations as a clear provocation. While a melee broke out between the opposing teams on the pitch, Stuttgart fans made their way into the inner area of the stadium. They stayed behind the barrier, but gestured angrily and even threw a chair onto the pitch!

On the pitch, the players argued, and the two coaches also exchanged words.

After the match, VfB striker Deniz Undav said: “Apparently, it was a provocative celebration. We already had that against Porto too.” According to Undav, Adeyemi made the finger-to-the-mouth gesture because he himself had done it in Dortmund as well.

What do you think? Was Dortmund’s celebration really that provocative? Or was the fans’ reaction mainly driven by frustration over the way the match unfolded? Feel free to write it in the comments!
