Stuttgart goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was lucky to get away with apparently taking a toilet break during a Champions League match. The former Germany international leapt over the advertising hoardings and appeared to relieve himself just before half-time while play was still going on at the other end of the field.
Luckily for Lehmann, Romanian visitors Unirea Urziceni did not manage to launch an attack towards the vacated goal.
Even more fortunately, referee Viktor Kassai did not notice.
Since Lehmann left the field without permission, he should have been shown the yellow card for his actions, regardless of whether he urinated or not.
But Stuttgart's director of sport Horst Heldt told the Bild newspaper afterwards: 'It reminds me a lot of the Tour de France - sometimes you don't have any other possibility but to let it out.'
He added: 'He did it very expertly. He could have waited until half-time.' When asked to confirm whether he had been caught short, Lehmann only smiled and said: 'I was more nervous than I have been for a long time.'
Stuttgart already led 3-0 during Wednesday night's match when Lehmann vacated his goal momentarily and they went on to win 3-1 to qualify for the last 16 of the competition.
