Goal anthem musician Schilling confirms Mittelstädt's Euro spot
German synth wave artist Peter Schilling - the composer of the German national team's "Major Tom" goal anthem - has confirmed VfB Stuttgart fullback Maximilian Mittelstädt's selection for Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann's Euro roster. Schilling dons a pink DFB alternate kit in the video and serenades the Berlin-native whilst watching a replay of Mittelstädt's goal scored against the Netherlands in a March friendly.
Mittelstädt is now officially the second VfB Stuttgart player to earn a place on Nagelsmann's tournament roster. Mittelstädt's club teammate Chris Führich's spot was confirmed earlier today via a sticker distributed by a bakery located in the Black Forest. News of the Mittelstädt's nomination broke shortly after a Frankfurt art museum confirmed Leroy Sané's spot via a portrait unveiled in one of its famous collections.
