Saturday evening, floodlights shining over 70,000 fans in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, and with Hertha and Schalke 04, two traditional clubs on the field. But what about the fans?
Both from the home section and the away block, there was little to no noise in the first half – and there’s a very bitter reason for that.
As confirmed by sources including 'Sky', numerous home fans were attacked by the police and subjected to extremely strict checks before entering. The ultras responded immediately.
Due to police violence, both groups of fans stopped their organized support. Many Hertha fans then left the Ostkurve.

It is currently still unclear whether and how many fans were injured in the incidents in front of the home stand.
