📸 So typically Freiburg: was that the politest pitch invasion ever?

SC Freiburg has reached the Europa League final for the first time in the club’s history. In general, the club stands for prudence and continuity, sound financial management, and a family-like environment. Scandals and escapades are basically unheard of around this club. So in a way, it’s hardly surprising that there supposedly hadn’t been a single pitch invasion in Freiburg in the 122 years since the club was founded. Until today... and that one was then also typically SC Freiburg.

After the final whistle, there was no holding back. Players and coaching staff embraced each other. Suddenly, numerous Sportclub fans were also on the pitch. Clearly not planned, simply driven by emotion. Above all, though, completely orderly. There was no sign whatsoever of the chaotic scenes often seen during pitch invasions.

Orderly, well-behaved, and as composed as you can possibly be in a situation like that. The security staff basically didn’t even have to properly intervene. A collective retreat to the area in front of the South Stand. Players and fans in harmonious unity.
