Maximilian Mittelstädt should probably not switch to Borussia Dortmund in the future. His girlfriend blasphemed about the city on Instagram and subsequently apologized.
The city of Dortmund doesn’t seem to be high on Lea Prinz’s list of favorites. In an Instagram story that was subsequently deleted after her arrival in the beer metropolis, she wrote: “Arrived in Dortmund and got a culture shock. Why didn’t I know it was so bad here?”
Her boyfriend Maximilian Mittelstädt plays for VfB Stuttgart and previously played for Hertha BSC in Berlin. She was obviously not at the away game in Dortmund.
Afterwards, Prinz rowed back and apologized to the Dortmund and BVB fans for her somewhat ill-considered comments. “It was chaotic at the main station and I was a bit overwhelmed,” she wrote on her Instagram channel.
She continued: “No offense meant to any city. Met some of you here too and had a good time, so I’ll be happy to come back.”
On Saturday evening, June 29, 9 p.m., Germany played Denmark. Mittelstädt was on the bench for the first time in the tournament and had to give way to rival David Raum. And the Leipzig player made the most of his chance.
Because it was Raum’s cross that landed on the hand of Denmark’s Joachim Andersen. “I’ve really had enough of this ridiculous hand rule. We can’t expect our defenders to run with their hands behind their backs. He skated normally,” said Denmark’s coach Kasper Hjulmand in the aftermath.
None of it helped. Kai Havertz grabbed the ball, strode to the spot and slotted the ball home to make it 1:0 for Germany (53′). Jamal Musiala made it 2:0 in the 68th minute to secure a quarter-final place at the tournament on home soil.
Germany will then face the winner of the match between Spain and Georgia (Sunday, June 30, 9 p.m.) on Friday, July 5, 6 p.m. in Stuttgart. For Lea Prinz and Maximilian Mittelstädt, this will be another home game
