Bartra finally found the mystery lady – her name is Steffi!
Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra has finally found the mystery lady who sat among Schalke fans during their Ruhr derby draw.
The 26-year-old launched an online campaign on Sunday to find and meet the brave fan who, wearing her yellow Dortmund strip, sat among home crowd during her side’s trip to the home of their Ruhr rivals on Saturday.
After the match Bartra called on the help of fellow Twitter users to help track down the brave fan so he could reward her loyalty with his matchday shirt.
And on Monday the 26-year-old announced that he had tracked down the fan – whose name is Steffi and whose partner appears to be a Schalke fan.
‘Yesss!! Thanks to everybody: fans, media… all of you! We’ve found our brave supporter! A promise is a promise, see you soon Steffi,’ he wrote on Twitter.
Great to meet Steffi today!!!! 😃 It’s been a worthy quest and a real pleasure! Thanks everybody! 🙌🏼#SheLovesBVBMore #EchteLiebe 💛🖤 pic.twitter.com/MRqk53N1OT
