Against Arminia Bielefeld, Schalke 04 was important on Sunday. Nikola Katić did not forget that there are even more important things than football.

The 69th minute in Bielefeld ran when Arminia striker Joel Grodowski passed the ground after a duel. In the second division game against Schalke 04, the DSC professional was obviously not with him at 2-1, after Schalke goalkeeper Loris Karius had caught him with a fist on the head.

Opponent Nikola Katić reacted in an exemplary manner and brought him to the stable side position. According to the “picture”, he even pulled his tongue out of his throat. When asked about the scene, the Bosnian said: “There is much more important than football. I had to react like this.”

Grodowski was able to get up a short time later and was then replaced by coach Mitch Kniat. Katić and Schalke brought the 2-1 lead over time and jumped in second place in the table.
