Overview
- The reporter was identified as Katharina Kleinfeldt of Sky Sport Germany, who began the pitchside interview by congratulating Friedl as if he played for Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Friedl immediately clarified, stating he is a Werder Bremen player, and Kleinfeldt apologized before attempting to continue the segment.
- The confusion stemmed from a post-match shirt exchange, with Friedl wearing Michael Zetterer’s Eintracht jersey when he approached the cameras.
- Clips of the exchange spread widely on social media, and Friedl later called the moment unusual and “a bit ridiculous,” appearing visibly uncomfortable.
