Dennis Schröder Calls Out RTL Comment as Patrick Femerling Says Clip Lacked Context

The brief flare-up highlights how a trimmed broadcast snippet can distort intent during a week of hometown honors for Germany’s EuroBasket MVP.

Overview

  • Dennis Schröder posted an Instagram Story of his late EuroBasket final shot and asked who said the on-air line, “Dennis, kein gutes Spiel gemacht,” while citing his 16 points and 12 assists in defense.
  • The voice on the RTL clip was identified as former Germany international and TV analyst Patrick Femerling, who said the issue was not a big deal and that he was happy for Schröder and the team.
  • Fuller broadcast context reported by outlets shows Femerling followed the brief critique with explicit praise, lauding Schröder for taking control in the decisive moment.
  • In the final Germany beat Turkey 88–83, with Schröder hitting a key basket 19 seconds from time en route to tournament MVP, after a slow start and several turnovers were noted in coverage.
  • As the exchange played out, Schröder drew crowds at a Hamburg book signing and was set for hometown celebrations in Braunschweig, including a hall renaming and a public reception.
