After the great victory over Werder Bremen, Leon Goretzka who also plays for the German national team attacked: "This term is taken from another century, it is not something we believe in" • The fans of the German champion also had a clear message in the stands

Just before the World Cup in Qatar opens, Bayern Munich can be very satisfied with their ability in recent times.

The German champion in the last 10 seasons and who will meet PSG in the round of 16 of the Champions League defeated Werder Bremen 6:1 yesterday (Tuesday) in another impressive home display.

To understand how wonderfully Julian Nagelsmann's machine works, you just have to look at the following statistic: in 14 rounds, Bayern have already scored 47 goals (3.35 goals per game).

And despite the great victory, what really caught the attention even before the start of the game was the protest of the team's fans against the World Cup ambassador in Qatar - Khalid Salman the Qatari - who said in an interview yesterday in response to the criticism his country receives: "Gays? They must accept the laws here. It is haram. I Not a devout Muslim, but why is it haram? Because it's hurtful."

Bayern fans hung up a sign that read: "Devastated! Fuck you Khalid and his partners."

Bayern Munich fans make their feelings clear on Khalid Salman, Qatar World Cup ambassador who told German TV broadcaster ZDF that homosexuality was "damage in the mind".

Fuck you Khalid.”

The one who made sure to show his displeasure with the controversial discourse was the team's midfielder and the player of the German national team, Leon Goretzka.

"It's a very depressing term. It's taken from another century, it's not what we believe in and it's not what we want to broadcast," he said, "it's a completely unacceptable statement."
