That muppet Lukas Podolski, the former Arsenal striker, lost his bloody mind after committing a shocking foul during a five-a-side friendly match. What a bellend!
Podolski's Disgraceful Challenge
The 39-year-old was playing for Polish club Gornik Zabrze in a tournament featuring professional teams from Czechia and Slovakia's top-flights and an All-Star Team featuring former Polish internationals. But apparently, the beautiful game wasn't beautiful enough for Podolski.
Playing against Polish side Wisloka Dębica player Kuba Siedleckim, Podolski lunged in with a knee-high, two-footed challenge that saw Siedleckim writhing around on the floor. What a mug!
But Podolski wasn't done yet, oh no. He berated his opponent before throwing the ball in his direction. Taking liberties, he was!
A Slap on the Wrist
Incredibly, the ex-Bayern Munich and Germany star was only given a yellow card despite practically having steam coming out of his ears. The ref needs his head checked!
Thankfully his opponent wasn't hurt. But that doesn't excuse Podolski's behavior. He's a disgrace to the beautiful game!
Taking to social media after the game, Podolski wrote: "There were emotions on the pitch, but after the match there is agreement. Sorry for the hard foul. All the best in the season." Yeah, right. Save your crocodile tears, mate!
Fans React
But fans weren't happy with what they'd seen from a player who was always more known for his lethal left-footed shot. And rightfully so!
Reacting to the tackle, one fan on social media wrote: "What a disgusting tackle, and then he moans at the player." Couldn't have said it better myself!
A second fan said: "Never seen him like this. What happened to him?" He's lost the plot, that's what!
"Lukas Podolski goes absolutely nuts in a friendly game and only gets a yellow card," a third said. "He could easily broken his opponent's leg." Absolutely bang on, mate!
A fourth supporter commented: "The referee is two metres away??" Indeed, what was he bloody doing?!
Meanwhile a fifth added: "That's horrendous. Such an embarrassing guy. That's really crazy, and not for the first time. Is it somehow normal for ex-professionals to be like that when they play in tournaments and amateur teams?" It's a disgrace, mate. A bloody disgrace!
Podolski enjoyed a hugely successful career with clubs including Bayern, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Galatasaray. He was also part of Germany's squad that won the World Cup in 2014. But all that success has clearly gone to his head. What a muppet!
