Maximilian Arnold Faces Online Backlash After Controversial Match Incident

The VfL Wolfsburg captain is shocked by the intensity of hate comments following a disputed yellow-red card in a Bundesliga game.

Wolfsburg's Maximilian Arnold received a wave of online abuse after a controversial yellow-red card was issued to Stuttgart's Atakan Karazor during a match.
Arnold expressed surprise at the severity of the comments, some of which included death threats, highlighting what he sees as a societal issue.
Arnold clarified that the contact with Karazor was unintentional and typical of high-intensity Bundesliga matches.
Referee Sven Jablonski later admitted the card was a mistake, and the German Football Association revoked Karazor's suspension.
An Instagram post about Arnold's charity work was also targeted by hate comments, forcing the club to disable the comment section.
