I Explores Liverpool’s GERMAN FRIEND 🤔 BORUSSIA PARK Stadium Tour

Borussia Mönchengladbach played Liverpool in the 1977 European Cup Final in Rome - They lost the match 3-1 but off the back of what would become the Champions League, they developed a friendship... Ooo FRIEND 👍🏽 (Inbetweeners pun there of course...) 🤓 In this video we do a Borussia Park Stadium Tour - taking a look at both the outside and inside of this fantastic Bundesliga stadium 🏟️ Prior to this we did a bit of a tour of Borussia's OLD STADIUM - the Bökelbergstadion just a few miles away... There's lots to read and see about that ground as well as Mönchengladbach's history in their BORUSSEUM - the museum at Borussia Park. It's the 2nd biggest German club football museum after the Bayern Munich one. The stadium tour was in German but I've done a bit of narration over the top for us English football fans ⚽️ WHAT DO YOU THINK OF BORUSSIA-PARK⁉️ Get involved in the comments below and SUBSCRIBE for lots more STADIUM TOURS including Borussia Dortmund & Schalke 🤩

The Bokelberg video is unfortunately now unavailable to German, Austrian or Switzerland viewers due to copyright (me borrowing Bundesliga footage 😅) bloody KZbin! Oh and cheers David (my German mate) 👉🏾 for telling me Die Fohlen meant “the donkeys” 🫏🤣🤣

[@rainerzufall6245]

Fohlen (foal) are young horses, not donkeys. lol

[@urm4363]

Very good video. A little addition to the friendship with Liverpool part. After the Hillsborough catastrophe Gladbach Fans collected money and donated it to Liverpool which lead to the friendship. To this day fans from both clubs come over to games and sometimes „Die Elf vom Niederrhein“ - the anthem of Borussia Mönchengladbach will be played at halftime at Anfield. The nickname the foals - young horses was already explained by someone else in the comments and comes from the team of the 70s with many young players who played energetic like young horses who can‘t be tamed. One of those players was Günter Netzer which gave the mascot Jünter - Günter with a rhinish accent - the name. You saw Jünter in the show as the little puppet horse. Hope you come back for a matchday to get the full experience

[@RysFootyParadise]

That’s for the info 😊👍🏾 to be fair I read up lots before the tour, but it’s taken me a while to get round to editing the footage and I’d forgotten lots of info 🙈

[@coolerkuli498]

fohlen is not a donkey, its a young horse, it came up because gladbach used to have a really young sqaud filled with talents. Gladbach actually brought up quite a few world class players like lothar matthäus, marc andre ter stegen, Berti vogts, günther netzer or marco reus.

[@RysFootyParadise]

Legends of the game 🤍🖤💚

This area was a former british miltary sector....afterwarts the borussia park has been built in 2004.....

[@brianwilson247]

You’ve come to my team ….I was stationed 15 miles from Moenchengladbach and as my first ever football match was Everton v Moenchengladbach in November 1970 I’ve followed them ever since .. I come from St Helens and tell people that I come from near Liverpool to make things easier.. They presume that I like Liverpool..Some have never heard of Everton ,some even think they’re from London😀… Followed Gladbach all over Europe over the years … Off to Stuttgart in 2 weeks for the last game … I’m a season ticket holder but can’t obviously get to every game I’ve been to 15 home and away this season 👍 Ps…. Foals are young horses..A reference to the young attacking players from the past😮

[@RysFootyParadise]

that's impressive, fair play to you Brian! I've been debating about adopting a German club to follow, but I suppose it would be a bit contradictory for me playing the role of "neutral" on the channel

[@TheKroate78]

[@AchimE]

Thanks, loved your video! Was born 10 walking minutes from the Bökelberg, this is my club! Had tears in my eyes when we qualified for the Champions League for the first time and they played the CL anthem in Borussia-Park! Yes, we have a fan friendship with Liverpool, since Gladbach fans donated a good amount of money for the families of the Hillsborough catastrophe… they even play our song Die Elf Vom Niederrhein from time to time at Anfield, even in CL matches! Greetings 👍

[@RysFootyParadise]

[@entenigelpfau]

DONKEYS?! NO! *A Foal is a young Horse! The Name came from the time, when Berti Vogts, Günther Netzer, Jupp Heynckes, Rainer Bonhoff, etc. rocked Europe unexpectingly, as super young, completly unknown players and also won international cups! They were a very young Team, for the time ; "young Horses"! Foals.

Great video as always! Is the Bökelberg video gone? 😅 And the club's called 'The Foals' because in 70ies a very young Mönchengladbach team played really well No pressure, very young and no anxiety - like foals 😅

[@RysFootyParadise]

It’s been restricted in Germany for copyright reasons 🙈 only available outside Germany, Austria & Switzerland I think the Bolelberg

@@RysFootyParadise what have you done? 😂😂

[@peterweiss123]

YOu should've talked more about Hennes Weisweiler(a fantastic coach who made all this success possible) and probably the biggest Mönchengladbach-player ever Günther Netzer :) Still a great video!

Yes the little park with drink stands is where you can eat and drink its full 3-4 hours before the game. Also around the corner from the stadium is the Fan house also worth a visit 😉💚

[@RolandDeschain19]

a Foal is a young horse. Your "friend" fooled you or is terribly misinformed. Or a fan of cologne, which are Mönchengladbach's arch enemies so it would be obvious why he would call BMG donkeys. They were called foals in an article from Kicker in the 70ies due to their young age in average and their quick dribblings and passes, and the public adapted it.

[@RysFootyParadise]

He’s from Cologne… 👀
