This will be the first appearance for Exequiel Palacios on the 'aktuelles sportstudio' programme filmed in Mainz. The Leverkusen midfielder will talk about winning the World Cup with Argentina last winter, his personal development at the Werkself as well as the end of season run-in with Bayer 04 and the forthcoming semi-final tie against AS Roma in the Europa League.
The classic programme on ZDF, running since 1963, saw Rudi Völler invited in February, albeit in his role with the DFB. The 63-year-old was interviewed a year earlier as the sporting managing director at Bayer 04. Palacios’ teammate Robert Andrich appeared on the programme in Mainz back in November 2021
