At the turn of the new year, the left defender Maximilian Mittelstadt (28 years old), German international, published the milestones of 2025. Priority in the list of photos was a frame with Cristiano Ronaldo, not the ones from the wedding.
The last days of 2025 served as an opportunity for athletes to present their milestones from the year just ended.
So did Maximilian Mittelstadt, the defender of Stuttgart and the German national team. What was striking about his post is that the first photo of the 20 published is one in which he appears with Cristiano Ronaldonot any frame with his wife, although 2025 was their wedding year.
A photo from the wedding took the 2nd place in his post, and the “podium” of importance was completed by an image in which the footballer kisses the German Cup trophy, his first collective award in his career.
CR7 > Wife » The German international's New Year's post amused fans terribly
Mittelstadt's choice amused Instagram users. Here are the most liked comments from the post:
-
“The picture of Ronaldo before the wedding picture 😂”
-
“First the picture with CR7, very important ❤️”
-
“Ronaldo > Wedding is madness☝🏼😂”
-
“CR7 before the wedding is important and right”
That picture of Ronaldo lifting Mittelstadt off the pitch was taken in June 2025 when Portugal and Germany met in the semi-finals of the Nations League. Mittlestadt has a total of 15 appearances for Die Mannschaft.
