Uma escultura de vidro e vários medalhões foram furtados do memorial às 23 pessoas que morreram no desastre aéreo de Munique, entre elas oito jogadores do Manchester United.

A vitrine fica em Manchesterplatz, o local em Munique onde o avião caiu ao decolar em 6 de fevereiro de 1958, depois de reabastecer no caminho de volta de um jogo da Taça dos Clubes Europeus em Belgrado.

Segundo a polícia de Munique, citada pela imprensa alemã, uma pedra foi usada para quebrar o vidro, e o furto teria ocorrido na segunda-feira, 26 de outubro, entre 08h e 13h no horário local.

A Manchester Munich Memorial Foundation disse estar “profundamente entristecida”, e Ifty Ahmed, que preside a fundação, afirmou que as famílias sofreram dano emocional.

“Eles não entendem o dano que causaram”, disse Ahmed, acrescentando que o memorial deu consolo aos parentes dos que morreram: “E o que quer que tenham levado de dentro da vitrine, não levaram as nossas memórias.”

Mark Salzmann, presidente da Red Docs Munich, grupo de torcedores do Bayern de Munique que ajuda a manter o local, disse que sua mãe avistou o dano ao passar de carro. Entre os itens levados, disse ele, estava uma escultura de vidro entregue a Dieter Reiter, ex-prefeito de Munique.

Homenagens de visitantes do mundo inteiro são coletadas pelo grupo, que depois coloca algumas em exposição. Salzmann disse que as peças eram únicas e difíceis de substituir, e que substituições estavam sendo discutidas com a fundação.

Quantos medalhões desapareceram ainda não está claro, disse Ahmed. O United ofereceu financiar os reparos, mas a fundação escolheu arcar com o custo, e o vidro foi reposto no mesmo dia.

Torcedores do Liverpool, do Manchester City e do Leeds também enviaram mensagens de apoio, disse Ahmed. Uma pedra memorial foi instalada em 2004, com a vitrine vindo em 2020 e sendo inaugurada em 2023.

Cerca de 1.500 pessoas de todo o mundo participaram do serviço anual de lembrança de fevereiro em Manchesterplatz, segundo a fundação. Salzmann acrescentou que as mensagens que recebeu mostravam o quanto o memorial importa, e que o vínculo entre Manchester e Munique “nunca vai embora”.
