Following an appearance on the RTL quiz show ‘Wer wird Millionär?’, contestant Noah Petrik failed to correctly identify Union Berlin head coach Mauro Lustrinelli. Despite using a telephone joker, Petrik provided an incorrect answer, which resulted in a loss of prize money. 

In a gesture of goodwill, Lustrinelli invited Petrik to a home match against FC Köln for a meet-and-greet. During the event, the club presented Petrik with a custom jersey featuring the name ‘SPASSIKOWSKI’, a humorous reference to the incorrect name Petrik had provided during the broadcast. Petrik expressed appreciation for the club’s gesture.
