FC St. Pauli

As at the end of every season, the time has come to bid farewell to a number of players. Besides Simon Zoller, who is hanging up his boots, Sascha Burchert, Sören Ahlers, Eric Oelschlägel, Andreas Albers and loanees Siebe Van der Heyden, Robert Wagner and Noah Weißhaupt are all leaving the club.

Club president Oke Göttlich, director of sport Andreas Bornemann and commercial director Wilken Engelbracht reflected on a successful season and discussed a variety of current and future topics at a media conference on Wednesday.

FC St. Pauli took a huge step towards Bundesliga safety with a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. After a flying start by the home side and a first-minute strike by  Rasmus Kristensen, the Boys in Brown came from behind to lead thanks to goals from Manolis Saliakas and Morgan Guilavogui. Michy Batshuayi drew Eintracht level midway through the second half, but the Blessin XI saw the game out and go into the final day three points and 13 goals clear of FC Heidenheim.
