On October 8th, Aytekin accompanied BVB’s 2-2 home game, which ended dramatically after a late goal from Anthony Modeste. Aytekin was not the focus of the goals, but of another scene.
As a reminder: The then Dortmund star Jude Bellingham kicked opponent Alphonso Davies in the face after a foul. Although the Englishman had already been cautioned with a yellow card at this point, Aytekin chose not to be sent off. The Black and Yellows were 0-2 behind at this point.
In the STAHLWERK one-two, the referee explained his decision-making after the top game as follows: “Viewed in isolation, the scene is a yellow card. But the referee is also expected to have a feeling for the game. And there was this minimal remaining leeway.”
Aytekin further explained that “a certain empathy and a feeling for the situation” were crucial. The then Bayern board member Oliver Kahn reacted indignantly to asked the former Titan.
Since the top game last year, Aytekin has led three FC Bayern games, two of which the record champions won. He played twice for BVB, and Dortmund was victorious each time.
