Bayern Munich extinguishes the controversy. In the midst of controversy this week after sharing several messages of support for Palestine on his Instagram account, Noussair Mazraoui will be reinstated in Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
“FC Bayern Munich had a detailed and enlightening conversation with Noussair Mazraoui this week,” the club announced via a press release. The reason for the discussion was Mazraoui’s Instagram posts in relation to terrorism against Israel almost two weeks ago, which sparked irritation and criticism,” it reads. “Noussair Mazraoui has credibly assured us that as a peace-loving man, he resolutely rejects terror and war. He regrets if his messages caused irritation,” says Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of the club.
The Moroccan international full-back, semi-finalist of the last World Cup with the Atlas Lions, added in the press release that he “condemns any kind of terrorist attack and any terrorist organization”.
“Supporters of terrorism on the lawn? »
As a reminder, Mazraoui had posted via his Instagram stories, at the beginning of the week, a video encouraging the “oppressed brothers in Palestine to achieve victory” but also a montage bearing the following text: “The players of the Moroccan national team Aboukhlal, Ziyech, Mazraoui and Sabiri all showed their support for Palestine in their stories. But you can only see the stories if you go to their profiles. They are trying to silence us. It’s literally us against the WORLD” could we read in this message accusing the social network of ignoring the messages of support for Palestine from these four players.
The affair caused a lot of noise in the German press, with the image from a Bild article, published last Sunday, titled: “Supporters of terrorism on the lawn? Intolerable ! “.
Bayern Munich, which specifies that the club and its player “resolutely oppose the transfer of the Middle East conflict and its violence to Germany, committed to peace”, however announced that despite his reinstatement, Mazraoui remains unavailable “due to an injury he suffered during an international match with the Moroccan national team”.
