Many BVB fans see a connection between attending the Cup final with a celebration on the Breitscheidplatz at the Gedächtniskirche. On the 19. December 2016 eleven innocent people were killed here after a terrorist attack on the visitors to the Berlin Christmas Market, many more were inured.

In memory of the 12 victimes of this terrorist attack and their loved ones, the BVB CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, Daniel Lörcher (Head of Fan Relations) and Carsten Cramer (Sales and Marketing Director) laid down a wreath of flowers in commemoration at the Breitscheidplatz today. Many BVB fans have announced that they will do the same on Saturday.

We would like to ask all Borussia fans to treat this place with respect. (pf)
