Football becomes a minor matter: grief for Magdeburg's victim dominates the league

After a cruel attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, in which at least two people were killed and many injured, football in Germany has become a minor matter. The trainer situations in the Bundesliga game between FC Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig had received a completely different perspective from the tragedy. Vincent Kompany, FC Bayern coach, expressed his thoughts: "It is actually almost impossible to talk about football." He expressed the desire for peace for the future: "I would like to win for peace next year," confirmed the emotional trainer who canceled the plans for the traditional Christmas ceremony after the game due to the sad events. Jan-Christian Dreesen, chairman of FC Bayern, also noted that the news had put a big shadow about the celebration, and the spectators in the stadium reacted to the decision to cancel the ceremony.
