Overview

• Becker revealed his wedding on Instagram with the caption "Presenting to you: Mr. & Mrs. Becker," posing with wife Laureen-Estelle in a deliberate nod to the 2005 Veltins ad.
• The photo mirrors the Rudi Assauer motif with Becker holding a cigar as his wife carries a crate of Veltins.
• Former Schalke player Lewis Holtby commented "Ruuuuudi would be proud!" while Keke Topp and Leon Goretzka hailed the post as "Legende" and "Großes Kino."
• Simone Thomalla, who appeared in the original ad with Assauer, responded with applauding emojis.
• After returning to Schalke in the summer from Holstein Kiel, Becker remains out with an internal ligament tear and is expected to miss several weeks.
