Tom Bartels and Almuth Schult commented on the cup fight between Leverkusen and Stuttgart on Tuesday evening. That caused dissatisfaction.
It was an exciting duel that Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart fought in the DFB Cup on Tuesday evening. Thanks to Jonathan Tah’s goal in the 90th minute, the Bundesliga leaders were able to celebrate a 3-2 win. The viewers were also excited – but they noticed the ARD commentator duo negatively.
Tom Bartels and Almuth Schult hosted the evening. Cup viewers found Schult to be technically well-informed and valued her as a commentator. However, some people really disliked the interaction with Bartels and his interaction with the goalkeeper.
“Strenuous at times”
One person wrote on platform .”
Another person put it even more clearly: “I’ve never seen two people so poorly matched on the microphone. There’s nothing wrong with that. Horrible.” Many comments on social media went in a similar direction.
“Just unpleasant”
“It’s okay that Tom Bartels doesn’t understand the principle of cooperation between commentator and co-commentator. But the arrogance with which he ignores every comment from Almuth Schult is simply unpleasant,” said one viewer.
Another viewer also criticized the commentator: “Tom Bartels should really hold his tongue. If he mentions Almuth Schult again, I’ll completely freak out.”

“Teaches clear enrichment”
However, Schult himself was praised several times. “I think Almuth Schult is extremely good for the game,” said a cup observer. Another viewer said: “Almuth Schult is a clear asset. Never heard so many clever observations and explanations.”
On Wednesday, viewers no longer have to be upset about the duo, because the game between third division team Saarbrücken and Borussia Mönchengladbach will be broadcast on ZDF. Katrin Müller-Hohenstein will moderate here. Expert Per Mertesacker is at your side. Oliver Schmidt will then comment.
