Former Ghanaian international, Kevin-Prince Boateng, was captured in a tearful state following the relegation of his boyhood club, Hertha Berlin, from the German Bundesliga over the weekend.
Hertha Berlin’s descent to the Bundesliga 2 was confirmed after a 1-1 draw against Bochum at their home stadium on Saturday.
Boateng, who was in the starting lineup for the match, played for 64 minutes, aiming to assist his team in their battle against relegation until the end of the season.
However, that was far from being achieved as they settled for a stalemate, confirming their relegation.
The 36-year-old was left emotional by the relegation of Hertha Berlin to Germany’s second tier.
“I can’t realize it yet,” Boateng told reported after the game. “It is just bitter, I love this club. I came here and I knew that not everything would be rosy. The fans are angry, disappointed and sad, that is completely normal.
“I can understand them, I am a Hertha fan myself.”
