Lukas Podolski's Grand Send-off Affected by Disturbances Among Supporters
Lukas Podolski's Farewell Event Turned Chaotic
In a bid to honor the remarkable career of Lukas Podolski, the former Arsenal and Bayern Munich star celebrated with an exhibition match. The event, orchestrated by his former club FC Cologne, was intended to be a tribute to his time in the Bundesliga. Sadly, the festivities were disrupted by clashes between fan groups. One supporter was rushed to the hospital after a stabbing incident, while other brawls ensued, including confrontations with riot police, leading to injuries among the officers.
