"This is simply out of order with regard to the other teams, such a scale of it. And we are the ones suffering. We will be the ones suffering next week. And that's unacceptable. It simply carries a different weight when Bayern Munich publicly addresses such topics. There are always situations where clubs get somewhat upset about decisions. I don't exclude myself from that either. But what's happening right now is incomparable."
"Bayern have done so many things right in recent years, which is why they're where they are. But they also have to live up to their responsibilities from time to time. The next refereeing team at the next match, good luck with that."
Horst Heldt, Union Berlin's managing director, strongly criticized Bayern Munich's public complaints about referee performance following their 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern received two red cards and had two goals disallowed, prompting complaints from players and club officials. Heldt argued that Bayern's public criticism carries disproportionate weight compared to complaints from other clubs, creating unfair advantages and disadvantaging teams like Union Berlin in future matches. He acknowledged that all clubs occasionally dispute referee decisions but emphasized that Bayern's prominent platform makes their complaints incomparable in scale and impact. Heldt stressed that Bayern must accept responsibility proportional to their status as a top club.
