World Cup winner with Germany goes wild for Flamengo’s Libertadores triumph | OneFootball

Lukas Podolski made a social media post celebrating Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores title

Famous for ‘flirting’ with Flamengo since the 2014 World Cup, Lukas Podolski once again spoke about the Most Beloved after the Copa Libertadores da América title. The German World Cup champion striker congratulated the Most Beloved on their continental victory.

“Congratulations to my great Flamengo. Now we are four-time champions,” wrote Podolski on X, the former Twitter. The striker won over the rubro-negro fans 11 years ago when he appeared with the World Cup trophy wearing the Sacred Mantle during Germany’s victory celebration.

Podolski was even contacted by Flamengo after the 2014 World Cup, but the ‘flirtation’ never turned into a relationship. Since then, the striker has often made posts praising Mengão. Knowing that the Most Beloved brings engagement, the Polish-born German takes the opportunity to ‘ride the wave’.

IS PODOLSKI STILL PLAYING?

Currently 40 years old, Podolski is still active. The former Bayern (GER) and Arsenal (ENG) player is now at Górnik Zabrze, in Poland. This season, the ‘Polish rubro-negro’ has played nine matches, but hasn’t scored or assisted. Moreover, the world champion is a substitute for the team.

DID OTHER EUROPEAN CELEBRITIES TALK ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Products of Flamengo and now established in Europe, Vini Jr and Lucas Paquetá also posted about their beloved club. The Real Madrid (ESP) striker wrote “being Flamengo is a Carnival,” and congratulated his friend Danilo, scorer of the title-winning goal and a fellow Brazil national team player.

Paquetá, from West Ham (ENG), posted “we did it,” with four trophy emojis, referring to the club’s fourth Copa Libertadores da América title. The Most Beloved is now the Brazilian club with the most trophies in the history of the continental competition.
