Leipzig Players Criticized for Delayed Response to Magdeburg Memorial

David Raum defends himself against backlash, citing miscommunication during the minute of silence for Magdeburg attack victims.

Leipzig players, including David Raum, continued post-match exercises during a requested minute of silence for Magdeburg attack victims, drawing criticism from fans.
Raum explained on Instagram that the players were unaware of the situation due to a lack of communication and misunderstanding of the stadium announcements.
The memorial was delayed until a team staff member informed the players, who then stopped their exercises immediately.
Leipzig management contacted Bayern Munich officials to clarify the misunderstanding, citing insufficient time to notify all team members about the change in plans.
The Magdeburg attack, which led to five deaths and 200 injuries, prompted Bayern to cancel a planned Christmas show after their match with Leipzig.
