When your whole existence is built on a lie, that lie will ultimately be your downfall

Tonight, RB Leipzig will visit a stadium where they will be met with a wall of hatred.

In the stands, people will imitate Bombers to mock the firebombing of Leipzig during World War 2.

I guess when you’re so steeped in hatred, you just don’t know how to be decent to your fellow man.

He was subjected to a barrage of abuse because he had the audacity to tell it like
