Mother revealed it on TV: DFB whiz kid conceived at historic football event. Maximilian Mittelstädt is now on course for the Champions League with VfB Stuttgart.

His mother Viola revealed on TV in 2019 that her son was conceived during the 1996 European Championships. 28 years later he will now probably be at the European Championships himself. Thanks to his two appearances in March, a nomination for the European Football Championship in Germany is extremely likely. The left-back was on the pitch for 90 minutes each against Zorya Lugansk, Athletic Bilbao and Östersunds FK.
