Ö3 breakdown during a minute’s silence at Chelsea vs. Salzburg

Just as Ö3 presenter Adi Niederkorn is reporting from Stamford Bridge in London, the minute’s silence for Queen Elizabeth II begins in the stadium. Niederkorn is curt during his live switch, but still gets a few angry looks followingwards.

Ö3 reporter Adi Niederkorn will not soon forget the evening of September 14, 2022. Exactly at the beginning of the minute’s silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II – in the course of the Champions League group game between FC Salzburg and FC Chelsea – the Ö3 news starts and Niederkorn has to make a report on site. The sports reporter sits in a stadium that is as quiet as a mouse and briefly explains that he cannot say anything at the moment. For some stadium visitors, who ended up at Stamford Bridge that evening, that was probably too much.

“It was terrible. I felt like 40,000 people were looking at me and the steward next to me grabbed his handcuffs and following the game a Chelsea player even attacked me,” the reporter describes the bizarre situation to “Ö3”.
