Ozil sent a post-game picture with his Germany teammates including Podolski alongside a tweet which bid farewell in Turkish: “All the best, Abi! We’ll miss you, bro! @Podolski10 #GAZVER #AHA #TschöPoldi”

Abi is Turkish for older brother and ‘Gaz ver’ means give them some gas – a term used to provide motivation.

Ozil is of course fluent in Turkish. Podolski also speaks some Turkish which he has learned while playing for Galatasaray.
