In Stuttgart, cars upstage football as Mercedes museum takes centre stage

In Stuttgart, cars often upstage football, even with a stadium opposite.

According to O Jogo, the Mercedes-Benz Museum stands directly across from the Stuttgart stadium and training centre, home of Porto's opponents today, yet visitors focus on the cars and the conspicuous luxury.

Inside, club colours are scarce, with little sign of Stuttgart shirts.

Nearby, the Porsche Museum adds to the pull, another stop many consider unmissable.

One visitor said football could wait until the following day, opting instead to explore the tale begun by engineers Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler in the 19th century.

The museum presents a narrative in which the marque's history is bound up with Germany's own.
