Overview
- A candidate on RTL's Wer wird Millionär? lost €1,500 after his phone-a-friend named the wrong Union Berlin coach on a multiple-choice question.
- Union Berlin responded by inviting the contestant to their Bundesliga home game at the Alte Försterei and greeted him before kickoff.
- The club posted a photo of the guest wearing a Union jersey printed with the name “Spassikowski” and the number 26 as a playful reference to the on-air error.
- Coach Mauro Lustrinelli told Sky the invitation was a “good action” and said the visit was an opportunity for the club and the contestant to meet.
- The episode shows how German clubs use social media and lighthearted gestures to engage fans and turn pop-culture moments into publicity.
