Dance judge sees Spain clearly ahead

Joachim Llambi - Dance judge sees Spain clearly ahead

So people know him: Joachim Llambi (59) is famous as well as notorious for his polarizing opinion expressions. Now the "Let's Dance" juror has positioned himself via Instagram for today's EURO 2020 quarterfinal between Germany and Spain: "3:1 for Spain... What is your tip?" The camp of his followers sees Llambi's prediction - as not surprising - divided.

"A real caliber was not present so far"

In contrast to many German celebrities who are tipping for Germany today, Llambi is betting on Spain. How did it come about? As the son of a Barcelona native, two hearts beat in Llambi's chest. He is convinced of the superiority of the current Spanish team and sees them as "best team of the tournament." In order for his tip to come true, he is hoping, according to "t-online," that "none of the DFB stars overstep themselves."

The German national team has indeed put in a decent performance so far, but "a real caliber was not present so far." Some of his followers see it differently: "It's time for Spain to lose a game," it says there. Or: "This will be a tough game. But I would never bet against Germany." Others join Llambi: "I see it similarly, even if it would be hard for me to see Toni Kroos lose."

Commitment for disadvantaged children

Joachim Llambi's football tip is not just a whim. When his blood pressure is not being worked up by the dance performance of a "Let's Dance" celebrity, his heart beats for football. Regularly, the sometimes acerbic dance jury member from Duisburg declares his love for his heart's club, his MSV, also known as "Zebras." Despite the mockery he has had to endure on the show due to his club's third-league status - Llambi doesn't care. He stands by his club - also in charitable matters. Off-camera, Llambi engages himself as a godfather of zebrakids e.V. for disadvantaged children. Whether Llambi is right with his EM tip remains to be seen. As writes a Llambi follower: "The better team will win - may the better team win."
