Overview
- During FC Barcelona’s 2–1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, Jens Lehmann posted on X criticizing Amazon Prime Video’s German-language coverage.
- He urged the use of “patriotic experts” and complained that commentators praised 18-year-old Lamine Yamal, writing that they should wish him “the worst night of his career.”
- Reports noted that Yamal delivered an unusually weak performance and appeared visibly frustrated when he was substituted.
- The broadcast featured commentator Hannes Herrmann with experts Matthias Sammer, Christoph Kramer, Tabea Kemme, and Benedikt Höwedes.
- Lehmann’s message drew immediate pushback from users on X, and outlets highlighted his prior controversies, with no apology or institutional response reported as of Dec. 10.
