The Red Bull-owned club were met with ugly protests at Borussia Dortmund but they are finally giving a genuine football city the team it deserves
COMMENT
In fairness to Borussia Dortmund, their response to the violence that overshadowed their 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig was swift.
The actions of a minority of so-called supporters outside of Signal Iduna Park, where visiting fans were pelted by bottles, stones and other projectiles, were quickly condemned by all connected with the club.
And after the famous Sudtribune had unveiled numerous banners ranging from merely anti-Red Bull to outright vile (the worst made a horrific reference to the illness that had previously forced Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick to step down as coach of Schalke) a few days earlier, a much more positive message was sent before the DFB-Pokal tie against Hertha Berlin.
