One detail could be fatal for a FC Bayern star.

In the online meeting between the Chancellor and the DFB * team, the two sides also exchanged views on the pandemic and talked about the upcoming sporting tasks at the EM *.

The case is reminiscent of the presentation by Mario Götze in 2013, when the newcomer appeared at his first press appointment in the service of Bavaria with a T-shirt from the US brand.

National player Ilkay Gündogan also drew attention to himself with a small glitch *.
