The Bundesliga may have new shareholders in the near future. Information has appeared in the German media that the German Football League (DFL), which manages the Bundesliga, plans to sell 8 percent of the television rights for twenty years.

In that case, in the short term, the German Football League would earn about 900 million euros.

Since German football has many traditions and many clubs still adhere to the 50+1 rule, many are opposed to these rules. Fans of Berlin's "Union" also expressed their opinion.

During the match between "Bochum" and "Union," the away team fans threw chocolate coins onto the field. "Bochum" forward Takuma Asano unwrapped the chocolate and actually ate it.

He later scored a goal, and after the match, even claimed that these coins gave him "special powers." The hosts defeated Berlin's club 3-0.
