Germany international forward Lukas Podolski is set to hang up his boots at the national team level when Die Mannschaft play England in an international friendly at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund on Wednesday.
The former Arsenal man will retire having made 130 appearances for Joachim Low's side. He has scored 48 goals so far and could find the back of the net one last time before pulling down the curtains on his illustrious career with the 2014 World Cup winners.
And as the 31-year-old prepares to call it a day, we take a look at how the football world reacted to his final match for his national team. Here is a compilation of some of the best tweets:
Let's start with the manager himself....
Joachim Löw: "It will be a mixture of happy and sad as we bid farewell to Podolski tomorrow. He has left a mark on my life." pic.twitter.com/JjD2MX8xDO
