Watzke addresses Nmecha's controversial goal celebration at Dortmund

Hans-Joachim Watzke, the president of Borussia Dortmund, discussed the controversy surrounding Felix Nmecha's recent goal celebration during a podcast on November 12. After scoring twice in a 2–1 win against Elversberg, Nmecha placed an imaginary crown on the pitch, which has been linked to the 'Ballers in God' network, prompting criticism from the club’s Fan Department. Watzke acknowledged the concerns of the fan base and indicated that the second part of Nmecha's celebration could create division among supporters. The club is in dialogue with Nmecha, who agreed to reconsider his celebration. Watzke expressed hope for a sensible resolution to the matter.
