Saturday saw Schalke 04 welcome local acquaintances Borussia Dortmund to the Veltins Arena for the Ruhr derby, which eventually played out as a 1-1 draw.

Indeed, Dortmund defender Marc Bartra was so enamoured by the circumstances that led to the photo that he launched a personal Twitter search to track down the fan in question.

Less than 24 hours later, bingo – Bartra managed to get in touch with the woman.

In fact, she turned out to be Steffi, a Dortmund fan who is married to a Schalke-supporting husband, hence the sub-optimal seating arrangement.

Sure enough, having ferreted out his mystery fan, Bartra once again promised to keep up his end of the bargain, implying that a signed shirt was in the post.

How simply wunderbar of him!
