    singing

    before kick-off.

Update from September 19, 9:58 a.m

.: The new

Bundesliga season

started yesterday with a spectacular victory for

FC Bayern

against

FC Schalke 04

.

But in the run-up to the game, something completely different caused a stir: singer

Sasha

with his interpretation of the

national anthem

.

The vocal performance of the pop star caused

mixed reactions

, at least on Twitter

(see first report

).

Later Sasha spoke up on

Instagram

- with a highly emotional post.

The photo shows his son

Otto

, who is watching Papa's appearance on television.

"What an evening!!

I hope Otto is proud of me, ”he writes about the picture, and in contrast to some

Twitter users

, the fans seem quite sure of that.

"

Of course he's proud

... I'm so happy to have heard a national anthem without frills," commented one user.

Even Sasha's

mother-in-law

joins the discussion.

“I'm super proud of you too.

You did great.

Pure goosebumps ”, she lets the singer know.

Which side is right in the end?

Well, as

is well known,

taste

can be argued ...

Check out this post on Instagram

What an evening!!

I hope Otto is proud of me 😊 I thank everyone who tuned in ❤️ It was an honor !!

FC Bayern versus Schalke: The fans are not completely convinced of Sasha's performance

First report from September 18

: Munich -

FC Bayern

started

the new Bundesliga season

on Friday evening against

FC Schalke 04

- but without spectators.

Normally, a new season has started with a small

opening ceremony

for a few years now

, but this year it was waived for the occasion.

The

German national anthem

was

sung

by pop singer

Sasha

before the game

that year

, which irritated some fans.

FC Bayern versus Schalke: Singer of the German national anthem causes funny reactions

The Bundesliga fans on

Twitter

didn't quite know what

to think of

the

pop star's

appearance

.

Very few people know

that Sasha, whose real name is Sascha Röntgen,

stormed

the

charts

around twenty years ago

and

landed

at

number two

with the pop album "... You"

.

A user asks (probably jokingly) what Sasha actually earns his money with.

What does Sascha actually do for a living?

Should you know that?

Is he doing something really nice? #Bundesliga # FCBS04 #FCBayern

Others wondered why the singer, who was born in Soest and is an avowed supporter of Schalke's arch-rivals

Borussia Dortmund

,

sings

the

national anthem

in the game between the Knappen and

FC Bayern

.

Another user suggested that Sasha

should have sung

his hit

"If You Believe"

for the most recently extremely unsuccessful Schalke fans

.

However, Schalke lost faith in a victory in Munich after just a few minutes.

FC Bayern versus Schalke 04: Fans remember Sarah Connor's bizarre Allianz Arena appearance

Dortmund's Sascha sings at Bayern against Schalke 😂 # FCBS04

Many fans remembered

Sarah Connor

, who

also sang the national anthem

at the second opening game in the

Allianz Arena

in 2005

, given the

singer's

appearance

.

Before the friendly match between

Bayern Munich

against the German national team, the then 24-year-old was a bit too nervous and

wrote the text

simply

order

.

The line “Blossom in the shine of this happiness” was changed to “Brüh in the light of this happiness”, and the singer made the

headlines the

next day

.

After all, safer text than Sarah Connor once ... # FCBS04

- Us Uwe HH (@ uwolf67) September 18, 2020

"Will the national anthem ever be sung again at some point and no reference made to Sarah Connor?" Asks a user in a tweet.

Another wants to know: "Where is

Sarah Connor

when you need her?" After all, Sasha is given more

text security by

the community

than the young Sarah Connor.

(ajr)

Sarah Connor has grown old.

At the start of the Bundesliga, the boards of directors of Bayern and FC Schalke sat in the stands without any distance or mask. That caused a lot of criticism.
