Last night's Euro 2012 qualifier between Belgium and Germany was a big occasion for former Nationalelf playmaker Mehmet Scholl. The 39-year-old was making his first appearance as a pundit on German TV in place of Gunter Netzer.
Scholl, though, became a victim of a prank played by the Germany players who were pretending to aim shots at the TV analysts in the build-up to the match.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Sky presenter Jessica Kastrop achieved worldwide fame as she was hit in the head by an errant shot by Stuttgart defender Khalid Boulahrouz in a similar position to where Scholl and co-commentator Reinhold Beckmann were standing.
Scholl can be seen visibly flinching during the pre-game chat and today the German press have reported that he was wary that "Schweini (Bastian Schweinsteiger) was aiming in our direction."
Video of Mehmet Scholl's panic attack before the Belgium-Germany clash is on the video below.
