"That's better than sex," said TV pundit Steffen Freund during the thrilling European Championship match between Albania and Croatia. A raunchy remark that caused quite a stir.

But first things first: In a turbulent final phase, Albania's professional Klaus Gjasula (90.+5) scored the 2:2 equalizer against the favored Croats. The newcomers to the European Championship celebrated exuberantly - their first point at a European Championship was perfect.

"Better than sex"
Even TV pundit Steffen Freund, who accompanied the game as co-commentator and expert for MagentaTV, couldn't seem to stay in his seat. "This is madness, better than sex," the 1996 European champion shouted euphorically into the microphone.

And the sex comment also made waves online. "He didn't really just say that...", one user on X can hardly believe it. Another commented: "Steffen Freund? Are you okay lol."

Freund, who is also working for ServusTV at this European Championship, is often criticized by German viewers and the media. However, he is likely to have scored points with many a fan with this casual remark.
