Xavi Simons avoided the worst. If we were used to seeing smoke bombs on carts, tennis balls, or even chocolate medals flooding the Bundesliga lawns in recent weeks due to a protest movement against the League, the limit was crossed this Friday.
Without yet knowing the reasons for this gesture, a Cologne supporter threw a glass bottle onto the pitch during the game between his club and RB Leipzig. As Xavi Simons was about to take a corner, the projectile grazed the player on loan from PSG. The match continued without interruption and the two teams neutralized each other at the break (1-1).
