"Bit im Büdchen" — Bitburger's social format for the 2026 World Cup returns for another round. Where football conversations usually happen — relaxed, honest, between the crate and a smoke — this time sat a man who usually supplies the information himself: Patrick Berger, Sky reporter and one of the best-connected journalists in German football.
Patrick Berger is the national team reporter at Sky Sport. He has been covering Borussia Dortmund, the German national team and the transfer market for over ten years. His network stretches from coaches to players to agents — he's one of the journalists who doesn't just write about football, but sits right in the middle of it. At the 2026 World Cup he was close to the DFB team, reporting from the camp, the hotels and the training grounds.
He brought exactly that inside perspective to the kiosk: What's really happening inside the DFB camp? How does the squad around Julian Nagelsmann tick? What does the 2026 World Cup mean for the soul of German football? Patrick Berger shared stories that don't make it into every interview — honest, authentic, with the depth of a man who knows football from the inside.

Patrick Berger is a reporter and presenter at Sky Sport. His focus areas: the German national team, Borussia Dortmund and the transfer market. With over ten years of experience and a strong network of managers, players and agents, he's one of the best-connected voices in German football. At the 2026 World Cup he accompanied the DFB team and reported exclusively from the camp — insight that only someone with this kind of access can deliver.
Insight from the DFB Camp
In conversation with host Robby Hunke, Patrick Berger gave deep insight: into the mood inside the DFB camp, expectations for the 2026 World Cup, Julian Nagelsmann's work, and what holds the national team together in summer 2026. Stories that only emerge when someone recounts the everyday life of the national team.
The format "Bit im Büdchen" was developed together with the Düsseldorf creative agency zwoelfstein. The idea: take football talk out of the studio and bring it to where the fans really are — in front of the kiosk, between beer and bratwurst. Ten episodes, ten guests, authentic conversations about football and what makes it what it is.
