Germany U21s accused of stealing 15 mugs of beer as 'crying hostess' storms onto team bus after semi-final win against France as DFB insists 'someone must have thrown them away'

<p>Germany U21 booked their place in the final of the ongoing U21 European Championship following a resounding 3-0 win over France on Wednesday evening. However, more drama was yet to unfold for the youth side. After the game, a VIP hostess stormed the team bus in tears and accused the Germany U21s of stealing as many as 15 mugs of beer from Slovakia's Kosicka Futbalova Arena.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to<em> </em><a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/u21-em-hostess-stuermt-heulend-in-den-deutschen-team-bus-685c9f243446cc6249ea56e9?t_ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bild.de%2Fsport%2Ffussball%2Fu21-em-hostess-stuermt-heulend-in-den-deutschen-team-bus-685c9f243446cc6249ea56e9" target="_blank"><em>BILD</em></a>, most players, coaches, and staff were already aboard the team bus, waiting for a few remaining players to complete post-match doping tests. Suddenly, a VIP hostess stormed onto the bus, visibly distraught, her makeup smeared by tears. She bypassed a police officer with a submachine gun and four stewards stationed at the entrance — none of whom stopped her — and walked straight up to head coach Antonio Di Salvo, seated at the front. Without a word, she raised her phone and took multiple photos inside the bus.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A stadium supervisor told <em>BILD</em>: "German players simply stole around 15 beer mugs. They probably think it's all free — but it isn't. That's why my employee ran onto the bus. She wanted to take photos as evidence."</p><p>But the German camp quickly denied the accusation. U21 press officer Markus Beer responded, telling <em>BILD</em>: "It was all completely different. The woman had brought several beer mugs into the catacombs, presumably for the referees. Then later, empty mugs were there, which were suddenly gone. Someone must have thrown them away. She obviously thought our players had simply taken them. But that was definitely not the case."</p>

WHAT WAS SAID

<p>As of now, it remains unclear whether the deposit mugs, worth €3 each, were ever recovered. The Germany U21s will now turn their focus towards Saturday's Euro final against <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-under-21s-player-ratings-netherlands-harvey-elliott-liverpool-euros/blteec64c9fe653aa79" target="_blank">England, who won against Netherlands</a> in the other semi-final. </p>
