NEUER RED CARD?! I had to come back from my uni deadline grave just to write this because I am shocked as hell aghaghaghgjashj

I switched on my TV late last night to watch dfb cup bayern vs leverkusen because I had the feeling this was going to be an exciting game I was a little late to the match and the first images to flash on my screen were exactly the moment my favorite goalkeeper got sent off during the match! i've never seen anything like this before!! I was so confused for a second because on the first image I saw him walking away and taking off his gloves, I thought "what the hell is going on?" then the graphic overlay showed his name and a red card... and I was totally absolutely surprised, shocked, speechless, I just had the strong feeling that bayern was going to lose the match after that incident b04 scored one goal right at the moment I came back from my toilet break and I felt so hopeless, so desperate, I carefully watched the clock tick and hoped for someone like musiala to score for bayern, but that moment never came and so bayern lost 0-1, at home. aaaa I can't believe I just saw their unluckiest game this season so far (and not just because kane is absent!) and oh my goodness, that red card would probably go down as their biggest disaster of the season, I don't think anything could match that 😭 now excuse me as I go quiet for another week or more and try to spend time working on my unfinished artworks (thomas fanart wip) while I knock away my homework tschüss

Kommentar #TSGFCN: Pokal-Aus, aber respektabel

TSG Hoffenheim 2:1 1. FC Nürnberg

⚽️ 1:0 Tabakovic (27., Hlozek) ⚽️ 1:1 Emreli (47., Justvan) ⚽️ 2:1 Chaves (71., Tohumcu)

In der ersten Halbzeit präsentierte sich der Club mit einer ordentlichen Leistung und hatte trotz des Rückstands nach einem unberechtigten Eckball, der zum 0:1 führte, das Spielgeschehen im Griff. Der frühe Gegentreffer durch Tabakovic, der in einem Moment der Unaufmerksamkeit fiel, zeigte nur kurz Wirkung. Bemerkenswert war, mit welcher Entschlossenheit sich die Nürnberger danach ins Spiel zurückkämpften und mehr Spielanteile eroberten. Vor allem gegen Ende der Halbzeit hatte der 1. FC Nürnberg durchaus Chancen, das Blatt zu wenden, doch der Ball wollte einfach nicht ins gegnerische Tor. Angesichts eines so mutigen Auftretens konnte man durchaus optimistisch auf die zweite Halbzeit blicken.

Nach der Pause kam der Club stark zurück auf den Platz. Bereits kurz nach Wiederanpfiff zeigte Emreli seine Qualitäten und sorgte mit seinem Treffer zum 1:1 für neuen Schwung. Der FCN blieb zunächst am Drücker und kam durch weitere Aktionen von Emreli und Castrop gefährlich vor Baumanns Tor. Ein Aluminiumtreffer für Hoffenheim erinnerte daran, dass man auch Glück braucht, um im Pokal erfolgreich zu sein. Doch mit dem erneuten Rückstand durch Chaves’ Kopfball nach einer Ecke, zeigte sich dann die körperliche und mentale Erschöpfung der Spieltage. Nichtsdestoweniger blieb die Moral intakt. Die von Mathenia in der Schlussphase vereitelten Chancen und der energische, wenn auch letztlich erfolglose Schlussspurt des FCN hinterlassen trotz des Ausscheidens im Pokal den Eindruck einer engagierten und konkurrenzfähigen Leistung.

Aufstellung FCN: Mathenia – Jeltsch, Knoche, Karafiát – Villadsen (82. Lubach), Jander, Castrop (85. Duman), Yilmaz, Justvan – Emreli (82. Hofmann), Tzimas (70. Schleimer) Letzte 10 Pflichtspiele: 🏆S–U–N–S–N–N–S–S–S–🏆N Nächstes Spiel: Sonntag, 03.11., 13:30 Uhr, gg.

Essen vs Leipzig: Im Zeichen der Dose

Kommenden Samstag ist es dann soweit. Der alte Leidenschaftsverein Rot-Weiss Essen trifft in der 1. Hauptrunde des DFB-Pokals an der Hafenstraße zum ersten Mal auf den neureichen und weithin ungeliebten Emporkömmling RB Leipzig. Viele RWE-Fans hätten sich, da muss man nicht durch die Blume reden, ganz sicher einen anderen Gegner gewünscht. Einen mit Tradition, mit einem alteingesessenen Namen,…

Bayer Leverkusen: 2023-24 DFB-Pokal Winners

Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen battled past second-division Kaiserslautern 1-0 on Saturday to win the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) and secure the club's first domestic double.

Leverkusen won the Bundesliga unbeaten, a historic feat. The only blip on the record of Xabi Alonso's team this season was losing the Europa League final to Atalanta 3-0 on Wednesday in Dublin. That ended Leverkusen's record 51-game unbeaten run across all competitions. It was their only loss in 53 games this season.

This was Leverkusen's second German Cup win after their maiden victory back in 1993.

"In the end, to win like that meant we showed spirit, we fought for the fans for the club," Alonso said. "It is huge success to win the double. We will remember this in the future."

At Berlin's Olympiastadion, which will host the Euro 2024 final in July, Leverkusen took the lead with Granit Xhaka's 20-metre missile in the 16th minute.

They controlled the tempo even after they were reduced to 10 men following Odilon Kossounou's second booking a minute before half-time.

Kaiserslautern rarely threatened after the break, with Leverkusen comfortably holding on to cap a memorable season with a second trophy.

"The most important thing was the belief of the team. They were ready to battle with 10 players and I am proud of that," Alonso added.

"I need time to accept what happened this season. It was a dream season and to celebrate the last day like this here is special."

Long derided as "Neverkusen" for their failure to win a major title since that 1993 cup win, Leverkusen ended their season with more silverware after also winning the Bundesliga title without a single loss -- the first German team to achieve that feat.

"It was a deserved victory," club CEO Fernando Carro said. "We could have added another goal but overall a fully deserved win. We lifted the cup after we failed to do so Wednesday. Compliments to the team to win this double."

Information from Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kommentar #SBRFCN: Pokalsieg gegen Pokalschreck

1. FC Saarbrücken 3:5 i.E. (1:1 n.V.) 1. FC Nürnberg

⚽️ 0:1 Ševčík (12., Knoche) ⚽️ 1:1 Brünker (80., Rizzuto)

Elfmeter-Schießen FCN–SBR ⚽️ Duman – ⚽️ Rizzuto ⚽️ Flick – ⚽️ Civeja ⚽️ Serra – ❌ Zeitz ⚽️ Schleimer – ⚽️ Brünker ⚽️ Lubach

Pokal ist nur einmal im Jahr! Oder hoffentlich vielleicht doch wieder ein bisschen länger. Zu Gast waren wir in Saarbrücken, wo sonst Drittligafußball gespielt wird. Trainer Klose stellte neben Mathenia im Tor (angekündigt) unter anderen auch Ševčík und Villadsen auf das Feld, die beide ihr Club-Debüt gaben.

Ebenjener Ševčík war es dann auch, der früh mit einem Traumtor die Führung erzielte. Ansonsten hielt sich der Club in der ersten Hälfte noch zurück, denn die Gastgeber taten ihrerseits ebenfalls wenig, was offensive Aktionen anbelangte. Nach dem Wechsel fanden wir uns allerdings zunehmend in der Defensive wieder. Saarbrücken übernahm das Zepter und wurde in der 80. Minute mit dem Ausgleich belohnt. Das war vom Spielverlauf her durchaus gerecht, bedeutete aber Verlängerung.

In der Verlängerung zeigten sich beide Teams platt. Keines wollte auf volles Risiko gehen, manche wurden von Krämpfen geplant, darunter vor allem Villadsen, der immer wieder das Spielfeld verlassen musste. Also Elfmeterschießen. Das ging der Club eiskalt an, alle Schützen verwandelten mehr oder weniger sicher, während der Saarbrücker Zeitz Nerven zeigte.

Der Club darf also eine Runde weiter. Das war eine enge Nummer, puh.

Aufstellung FCN: Mathenia – Valentini, Jeltsch, Knoche (62. Karafiát), Villadsen – Flick, Ševčík (62. Lubach), Okunuki (62. Serra), Jander (69. Duman), Pick (90.+2 Forkel) – Schleimer Letzte 10 Pflichtspiele: N–N–N–N–N–S–N–☀️–N–S–🏆S Nächstes Spiel: Sonntag, 25.08., 13:30 Uhr, gg.

Good versus Evil

Steht die Auslosung zur 1. Hauptrunde im DFB-Pokal an, dann ist der geneigte Anhänger von Rot-Weiss Essen erst einmal euphorisch. Die Bayern aus München oder die Borussia aus Dortmund sollten es dann bitte schon sein, oder besser noch der ungeliebte, von manchen verhasste Nachbar aus Gelsenkirchen. Schließlich sind wir der magische RWE, Pokalfights an der Hafenstraße können wir, also sofort her…

acts of service

sydney lohmann x bayern!reader

summary: you and your girlfriend's love languages revolve around words of affirmation and acts of service

opening your eyes, you took a few moments to move your head up. seeing that the orange retro clock on your bedside table says “6:45 AM”, you smacked your head back onto the soft pillow and closed your eyes. you didn’t need to wake up for another hour. training for the pre-season starts at ten o’clock so you wanted all of the sleep that you could get. 

it wasn’t five minutes until you closed your eyes that you flipped your body to its side. usually, your leg would come into contact with your girlfriend's leg while doing this in the morning. so, when your leg landed onto the soft mattress instead, your eyes shot open-- seeing an open space. 

sydney isn’t the girlfriend that will wake up first in the mornings, its always you. this wasn’t normal, so you moved your tired body to sit up.

your hands moved to rub your eyes before you heard the front door in the apartment close shut from the living room. 

your eyebrows knitted together, knowing that sydney must’ve left to go somewhere or she is coming back from somewhere. she didn’t leave too long ago, as you woke up to use the bathroom at 5:00am and saw sydney sleeping.

as you take the pink comforter off of your body, you hear footsteps approaching the room along with the aroma of your favorite breakfast wafting through the air. 

your legs were on the edge of the bed as sydney stops in the doorway with a surprised look--- she is surprised to see you awake. 

you looked at the brown paper bag in her right hand with suspicion as syd had a grin on her face. in her left hand, sydney held a 2-drink cup carrier with two drinks placed inside of them. 

“baby, did you really just-?” you cut yourself off as you stood up in front of her, surprised at the gesture. you took the drink carrier out of her left hand as she moved to the other side of the large bedroom to grab the two bed trays you guys keep in the closets. 

“yes i did!!” sydney said excitedly, which surprised you because the clock turned to 7am and usually sydney isn’t too energized this early. 

you look down at the two drinks to see two iced lattes. one was a bit darker than the lighter one with strawberry cold foam on top of it. that one is yours, considering that sydney knows your order for the cafe on the corner of the same street you both live on. 

sydney pulls out the food in the bag and you notice both of your favorite orders being sat on the bed trays. 

the german girl usually orders an avocado toast topped with hard-boiled egg and a plain croissant. you get a plain croissant too, along with a plain bagel with light cream cheese. 

the golden morning light filters through the ivory colored curtains, casting a warm glow over both of your features as you start to eat.

"i forgot to tell you good morning, sleepyhead," she starts to speak, her voice a melodic whisper. 

“good morning, early bird,” you joked. this is a joke that started between the both of you even before you guys started a relationship two years ago. 

everytime you woke up before her, which was everyday until this morning, she called you an early-bird because you were fully awake by the time she would wake up. most times, you’d have to force her to wake up with you so you aren’t late to training or games with bayern. 

it looks like the roles switched this morning.

"I thought I'd surprise you when I saw that you were still asleep." sydney blushed as she looked at you sipping on the strawberry latte. it was made perfectly. 

"this tastes amazing, but you’re even more amazing for this," you murmur, placing the iced drink down and stretching your tired arms before smiling at your girlfriend with tons of love in your eyes. "I don't know how you always know exactly what I need."

sydney laughs softly. "it's a gift. now, eat. we've gotta go training soon."

you spend the morning together, savoring each bite and sip. the intimacy of the moment is a reminder of why you love her so deeply. this isn’t the first time you’ve done this, it's almost a weekly thing. most of the time its you going down to the cafe and picking up sydney’s iced hazelnut latte though. 

a week later, shortly after the first game of the season, sydney fell ill. her usual happy energy was diminished by a fever and sore throat. you both share an apartment, so you’re more than prepared and determined to take care of her.

sydney can be a little stubborn. at first, she said she was fine but you made her rest after taking medicine (given by the doctors at bayern) so she will feel better.

its been an hour since she fell asleep in a nap--- you start chores in the kitchen by tackling the dishes piled high in the sink, the clinking of plates and running water calms your mind as your tv in the living room serves as a nice background noise. next, you move on to do the laundry. 

usually, sydney has a huge preference of doing the laundry while you tackle the dishes. both of you share the same clothes in the huge closet in the bedroom– so you chose to do all of the laundry this time to make her life easier. 

in the laundry room– you threw most of the clothes in the washer and looked in the cabinets where you keep the detergents and other things. sydney likes to use the vanilla scented fabric beads for the washer– while you like the fresh clean scented ones– so you chose to use the vanilla beads with the regular laundry detergent. 

you have to come back and do another two loads, considering how much clothes you and sydney own, so you sort out all of the jerseys and training gear, placing them in a pile so you’re prepared to wash those too after the first load is finished.

when you go to check on sydney in the bedroom, you find her awake. she has the tv on and is watching one of her favorite netflix movies. you felt terrible, sydney is shivering and you hated to see your sunshine so miserable while being sick. 

“hey sweetheart.” you sat on the edge of the bed and ran your hands through sydney’s soft, yet tangled, hair. you felt terrible and knew you had to get sydney cleaned up. 

"i know you might not like this but let’s get you cleaned up, sunshine. it might help you feel better." you say softly. due to her sore throat, she can’t speak much without irritation. you understand as you pull the pink comforter off of her body, helping the taller girl stand up as you led her into the bathroom ten steps away. 

you undress the woman who was just settled into a sports bra and shorts before. you take your hands and help her into the shower, supporting her weight as the warm water cascades down her body. 

first, you let her sit down as you started to wash her hair first. this step takes about 20 minutes, since you mainly gave her head massages while cleaning her scalp. after saturating one of your hydrating hair masks into her hair, you helped her stand up in the warm (not hot) shower.

next, you take the antibacterial soap as you started to wash away the sweat and sickness from her body. 

as you take the silicone scrub and clean her body, you rub her back and murmur comforting words, feeling her sick body relax under your touch.

after double cleansing her body with her favorite citrus scented soap, you washed the hair mask out of her hair and helped her sit back down. you plugged the tub and allowed the water to run, adding a few of her favorite essential oils and bubble bath soap that will calm her body and mind. 

you didn’t notice– or care– that your entire front side is soaked. you didn’t get into the shower and bath with her, but you allowed her wet body to hold onto your clothed body. your blue shirt sticks to your front due to how soaked it is, along with your white pajama shorts, but you didn’t care. 

sydney stayed close to the edge of the tub as she held onto you. you sat on your knees outside of the tub and cuddled with your arms wrapped around her body. 

this might’ve been dumb, considering that you can catch her sickness next and miss out on the next game against slavia praha– you couldn’t care less knowing that your sweetheart is sick. 

"you're too good to me," you hear sydney whisper, her voice weak but filled with gratitude as she felt your small kisses on the back of her shoulder.

"you're everything to me syd," you reply, moving your body over so you could kiss her cheek. "i’d do anything for you."

two weeks later– it was the evening on a day off from soccer-related stuff. sydney started to get over her sickness a week prior, so she is back to normal. 

as you both sit in the living room, with you on the floor in-between sydney’s legs on the couch— sydney’s fingers weave through your hair with practiced ease. 

"hold still," she instructed as your head looked up at the TV playing mean girls. the german is concentrating on forming perfect french braids in your hair. you feel her breath against the top of your head, her presence is calming. the gentle tugging and twisting of your hair is almost meditative, each braid giving a symbol of her love and care.

when anybody plays with your hair, your body goes into relaxation. since it's sydney playing with your hair, you could’ve fallen asleep right here. your eyes continue to close and shut as sydney continues to move her fingers in your hair.

"why do you always braid my hair?" you ask softly, smiling at the thought with your eyes closed in relaxation. 

during games for bayern, you’re an attacking midfielder– or a forward if someone is injured– who is considered to be one of the best. 

many pictures taken of you during games capture you with nice french braids in your hair– or with a low ponytail that's braided. sydney is the hairstylist behind those braids which made her so happy seeing you on the pitch with them nicely finished.

"because i love your hair– it's so soft, and i know it makes you relax." she replies simply as she ties together the first braid. 

a month later-- after a particularly harsh game at bayern, with sydney getting into a fight with a ref that gave her a yellow card– you both return home. 

her shoulders are slumped and her eyes are filled with frustration as her mind replayed the moment when she got a yellow card. 

you got a yellow card too earlier in that game, after failing to side tackle a ball– and hitting the wolfsburg forwards ankles instead– but you brushed it off as a mistake. however, you can see the weight of her bad moment pressing down on her. 

in the car and in the locker room you gave her space– now you’re back home. without a word, you wrap your arms around her on the couch, pulling her into a tight embrace. sydney melts into you, her facade cracking as she lets out a shuddering breath.

you held her hand and caressed her face with your fingers. "talk to me," you urge gently. sydney used to have a thing for holding her thoughts inside of her mind until they exploded. now, she is aware that she can talk to you about anything. 

“i’m so mad! the ref saw that she pushed me first, so why did i get the yellow card while she was able to walk away with no consequences.” sydney begins to unload, her words tumbling out in a rush of emotion. 

by “she”, sydney is referring to a wolfsburg defender who pushed her from behind as she tried to pass a ball to you. you listen intently, knowing that sydney is telling the truth. as you watched sydney fall to the ground, all of your teammates ran over to the ref and demanded a foul and yellow card for the player’s action. 

you on the other hand, you ran over to help sydney up from the ground. she acknowledged your support but jogged over to the ref. the conversation was short but got heated quickly. your eyes widened when you saw the ref pull out the yellow card looking at sydney.

as sydney continued to talk, you offered words of reassurance and understanding. sometimes, refs make the calls you don’t like– and all you can do is move on. 

after getting her to calm down by cuddling on the couch and watching the women’s el clasico match on live television, sydney spoke out randomly as the game paused for halftime. 

"y/n, i feel a lot better after talking about what happened. thank you– you're always here for me," she murmurs, her head resting on your shoulder as she gives you a kiss on your neck. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"you don’t have to thank me baby, it's what i love to do– and you'll never have to find out what it's like without me," you promise, stroking her hair. "we're in this together, forever and always."
