Seville boss with dig at SGE President

Before winning the Europa League final, Frankfurt President Peter Fischer complained about the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The term “Mickey Mouse Stadium” was used in this context. Sevilla’s club boss Jose Castro did not let the criticism of his home ground sit for long.

“The Mickey Mouse Stadium, as he says, has 6 Europa League trophies in the middle of the director’s box,” Castro recalled on the pay channel Moviestar+ of the Andalusians’ international successes.

FC Sevilla is the record winner of the Europa League and the UEFA Cup with six titles (2006, 2007, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020). For this reason, its president hopes for a little more respect for the achievement.

However, Jose Castro was not really angry with Peter Fischer. “These are tense days, maybe for him when he’s in front of his people…These are things that have to be forgiven, I’m sure he didn’t do it with malicious intent.”

In the last few weeks, Frankfurt’s Fischer has actually been guided by his emotions, which may have outstripped him at one point or another. Among other things, the official was there at the away games in the European Cup – such as the showpiece against FC Barcelona – to heat up the fans even before kick-off. The Eintracht supporters always showed up for these games in large numbers, which is why Peter Fischer would certainly have liked to see more of them in the stadium.
