Soccer fans tear down ‘Berlin Wall’ at Hertha-Leipzig game

Associated Press  

BERLIN — German soccer fans tore down an artificial ‘Berlin Wall’ erected across the middle of the field at Hertha Berlin’s Olympiastadion before the Bundesliga game against Leipzig on Saturday. The club turned back the clock with a retro scoreboard and by wearing retro white jerseys with a Berlin bear on the front, based on the shirts the team wore in its first game two days after ‘Mauerfall’ in 1989. Hertha marked the occasion by erecting one symbolic ‘Berlin Wall’ in the middle of the pitch and another on the running track. It’s important we stay calm and come out of this phase.” It was Hertha’s first game since it announced Friday that former Germany and United States coach Jürgen Klinsmann had joined the club’s supervisory board and that investment firm Tennor had increased its holding to 49.9% for 99 million euros.
