Away fans pull off stunning coup: German club pranked in the Europa League

Before the Europa League match between FC Basel and SC Freiburg, the significance of the game was assessed differently. While Xerdan Shaqiri spoke of a friendly derby, some fans saw the game as a derby with a less friendly character. The active fans of FC Basel also chose this path.

The Muttenzerkurve initially displayed a banner during the match with the inscription: "Nice here, but have you ever been to choreohalle.de?." The banner was a reference to the saying "Nice here, but have you ever been in Baden Württemberg?" (A meme sticker about BaWü) and also to an action by the people of Basel last year.

There, the FCB fans managed to get into the premises of the active fan scene of Young Boys Bern and to snatch a part of the planned derby choreo. In addition, the Basel fans posted pictures of the premises on the aforementioned website. The Swiss seem to have played a similar prank on the Freiburgers.

Some pictures appeared on the homepage of the Muttenzerkurve, showing how the Basel fans secretly painted their choreo for the Euro League game in the premises of the Freiburg curve.

However, the Freiburgers do not have to fear a new homepage. The Swiss subsequently showed another banner, making it clear that they "as co-users (of the room) were not interested in another website".

The whole thing was rounded off in the end by the FCB fans revealing that they had left rent in an unknown form in a blue safe in the Freiburg room.

So far, not much is known about this manoeuvre. How the Freiburg fans will react to this action remains to be seen. The fact that the Breisgauers were able to win 2:1 should also be a consolation.
