Mönchengladbach (dpa / lnw) - Boninsegna sends its regards even after 49 years.

With firecrackers in the early hours of the morning, the football professionals from Inter Milan were disturbed in their night's sleep by strangers in their hotel in Mönchengladbach on the day of the Champions League game against Borussia (9 p.m.)

At around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, pyrotechnic material such as fireworks batteries was burned on the driveway to the Dorint Hotel.

According to witnesses, several people in dark clothes were observed at the scene, who then drove away in cars, the police said.

That it must be a supporter of Borussia Mönchengladbach was made clear by a banner hanging in the entrance area to the hotel with the words “Ricordati Inter, things go better with Coke” and the fact that there were a few cans of Coke in this area.

The Inter player Roberto Boninsegna was allegedly hit so badly by one of these 49 years ago in the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach that he could not continue playing and the game that Gladbach won 7-1 was later canceled.

The police, who have started investigations into an administrative offense under the Explosives Act and Immission Control Act, can certainly imagine a connection.

"That is obvious, but nothing has been proven," said a police spokeswoman.

At the meeting with the Italian delegation on Tuesday, Club Borussia Mönchengladbach apologized for disturbing the night's sleep.

Vice-President Rainer Bonhof said in a video link with the Internet portal “Sportbuzzer”: “We distance ourselves from it.

That's absolute nonsense, you don't do that. "
