BILD: Tension after Schalke-Real Madrid over three alleged kin of Güler

Real Madrid’s victory over Schalke 04 at the Veltins Arena was overshadowed by a regrettable incident in the stadium’s VIP area. According to the German newspaper BILD, three individuals claimed to be cousins of Real Madrid player Arda Güler. Their aim was to gain access to the area reserved for the Madrid squad and try to contact the Turkish international directly.

As they did not have the required accreditation, security denied them entry. That was when the situation spiralled out of control: the men began shouting Güler’s name and intimidated stadium staff in an attempt to force their way in.

A member of Schalke’s communications team tried to defuse the situation by asking them for their credentials. Far from cooperating, the troublemakers hurled serious insults and threats at her, even physically assaulting her when she tried to photograph them.

Security had to remove the troublemakers

After several minutes of high tension, and as the employee continued to insist, the venue’s security staff stepped in to remove the attackers. The three individuals eventually left the stadium facilities while hurling further abuse.

For now, it remains unknown how they managed to get past the initial security checks in the VIP area. Real Madrid has not issued any statement on the matter.
