After Sky reporter Patrick Wasserziehr had an exchange of blows in an interview with Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck, the journalist's Transfermarkt profile went through the roof. It has been the most clicked on in the past few days.

In the disappointing 1-0 defeat against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday, Schlotterbeck missed a huge chance to equalize. After the game, the BVB professional was asked about the scene. Wasserziehr asked why he had not scored the goal. The 24-year-old reacted irritably: "That really is a stupid question."

When Wasserziehr tried to justify himself, saying that the question wasn't so stupid after all, an argument began - live on TV. "I actually thought it was stupid," says Schlotterbeck. "That's because maybe you've never played soccer before."

Wasserziehr countered that he had been playing soccer for 50 years - and, according to him, not at all badly. This was of little interest to Schlotterbeck - unlike some users on the net. The reporter's player profile went viral after the interview. Many apparently wanted to know more about Wasserziehr's career.
