It was particularly important for us to « having a role model like Rouwen Hennings among us after continuing her career. We are already looking forward to working together, » said Klaus Allofs, Board Member for Sport and Communications.

Hennings, who has registered six goals and three assists in 27 games this season, explained: « It was my wish to continue playing for Fortuna and to finish my career here. Unfortunately, that is no longer possible for me now. « I still feel quite strong and now I want to prove it elsewhere. I’m proud to look back on a great time in Dusseldorf and I would like to thank all the fans who showed me their great affection and supported me. Fortuna means a lot for me, so I’m happy to have the opportunity to come back here later.” In total, Hennings has worn the F95 shirt 227 times so far, scoring 84 goals.

The joy of the championship won prematurely by FC Barcelona lasted only a brief moment among the players, coaches and support staff. The celebrations in the inner circle were interrupted by a storm of fans from city rivals Espanyol. Ugly hunting scenes unfolded.

Apparently, some Espanyol fans couldn’t bear the triumph of their rivals in their own stadium and stormed the pitch.

The shock obviously passed as quickly as it came. Alba, Lewandowski and Co. let their emotions run wild in the catacombs.

FC Barcelona made it clear during the derby against Espanyol that they wanted to clinch their 27th championship today. A brace from Lewadowski and opening two goals from Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé made the situation so clear before the end of the first 60 minutes that you can now watch the next master at his work.

With the Blaugrana’s joy of playing, one or the other goal could even fall here.

The day against homophobia has again turned into controversy this weekend. After Radamel Falcao or Idrissa Gueye in previous years, several players have refused to wear the jersey with the rainbow colored number. This concerns 3 Toulouse players, but also the Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed. This climate makes Daniel Riolo, journalist and editor-in-chief of RMC Sport, fulminate.

« It doesn’t want to get into the heads of these blind people, these obscurantists, he says. They say: ‘there is no reason for us to defend this cause’. You are not defending a cause, you say: « I am against attacks on homos”. It is a message of peace, of tolerance. Homophobia is extremely present in the (Site notre bureau spécialisé), and it is getting worse and worse. The situation is very serious. « 

Mohamed’s « abandonment of post », Roy’s « dramatic » exit

« You have to know that it’s always a problem in the discussions, that they (the players, editor’s note) do it a little constrained and forced, he continues. There is not this understanding that it is not support (the cause) but it’s being against discrimination. It means that if a homo is attacked, you don’t condemn him. The question is: do you condemn the aggression or not? or harassment against a homosexual?’ If so, then do it in motion. »

Daniel Riolo fears wider drifts in the future. « It is not excluded that in the contracts in the future, there will be a clause on this or it is said that the player does not participate in the event, he illustrates. What did Mostafa Mohamed, it is an abandonment of position His team (Nantes who dislikes Toulouse, 0-0) plays the maintenance and him for a reading of his religion, he prefers not to play, rather than not to understand the debate and not have that negative attitude. »

Another reaction caused a lively controversy: that of Eric Roy, coach of Brest, for whom this day of the fight against homophobia distorts the championship due to the defection of many players. « He (Roy) couldn’t miss so much, chokes Daniel Riolo. I don’t know how it can be so dramatic. It’s a catastrophic outing. »
