U21 outshines Bayern: Sensational victory in the European Championship quarter-finals!
In an exciting football evening on June 18, 2025, the German U21 national team caused a stir by qualifying early for the quarter-finals of the European Championship in Slovakia with a 4-2 win against the Czech Republic. With this convincing performance, the team led by coach Antonio Di Salvo consolidated their status as serious contenders in the tournament. The game, which included the impressive performance of Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, who scored three times, attracted a large number of spectators.
As Bild reports, 3.16 million viewers watched the U21 game in the second half, which represents a market share of 19% in the 14 to 14 age group corresponds to 49 year olds. In direct comparison, the Bayern Munich game against Auckland City, which offered little excitement and ended with a clear 10-0, attracted 2.64 million viewers in the second half and thus achieved a market share of 17.1%.
High viewership for the two games
