A heartbreaking night.
There was a medical emergency in the home area today before the game between RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach and the person unfortunately died in the stadium.
On the same day, a member of the Borussia Mönchengladbach fan scene died in a traffic accident on the way to Leipzig.
We are deeply saddened and all our thoughts are with the fans’ families and relatives, to whom we express our deep condolences and sympathy.
Rest in peace.

Xaver Schlager
- “This is a huge tragedy. My condolences to all the families. The sport is unimportant. I noticed a very calm atmosphere in the stadium from the start. After the end of the game, we found out about the tragic incidents. Our thoughts go out to the deceased and their loved ones’ families.”
Lois Openda
- “We are all deeply saddened by the loss of two fans today. You will continue to be with us and in our hearts. We here in Leipzig are one big family and we will not let what happened today be forgotten.”
