'I am proud of the players who are taking a stand.'
With thousands assembling in Berlin and Munich to demonstrate against police brutality and for racial equality, Dortmund and Hertha's starting line-ups gathered around the centre circle at Signal Iduna Park before dropping to one knee.
Earlier Pierre Kunde Malong also took a knee after scoring the second goal in Mainz's 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt. Union Berlin's Nigerian striker Anthony Ujah said he was"proud" of the Bundesliga players who staged on-pitch protests and pledged to do the same if he scores against Schalke on Sunday.
