Friendly

3-0

Michalis Kritikopoulos Stadium

Attendance 100

Entry Free

Kick-Off 19:00

I’d been to this stadium twice before, but both visits were before I started this blog, so I thought this was a good enough excuse to pay this beautiful ground another visit. The first time was to see Kifissia (who at the time were using the stadium for their home games) take on Panserraikos, in a 4-4 thriller that remains one of the most dramatic Super League matches I’ve seen live. Later that season, I...

Kick-Off 19:00

This match was the last of my trip. Union Berlin vs. RB Leipzig was basically the reason I was in Germany in the first place. My friend Johann had invited me to watch a game of Union at their home ground before they start renovation works and move to the Olympic Stadium for a while. Union is notoriously difficult to get tickets for; the club has as many as 70,000 members while their ground can...

Kick-Off 19:00

My friend Johann always told me about Babelsberg and their fans, so I was quite happy to finally be in Berlin when they were at home. Babelsberg is a former East German (DDR) club based in the Babelsberg district of Potsdam. They are an openly antifascist club and currently play in the fourth tier of German football. Today they were facing Hertha Zehlendorf, a small team from a suburb of Berlin, as Johann explained to...

Kick-Off 21:00

My day started as early as 4 a.m. when I woke up to catch a flight to Cologne from Stansted Airport. The next morning I had to be in Berlin and work until the evening. So I still wasn’t convinced that my plan to stop in Dortmund in the meantime was a wise idea… but here I was. I arrived at the mostly empty airport of Cologne and took a train to the central station....
