Arsenal's Lukas Podolski delivered on his pre-match promise to get a dressing room photograph with German Chancellor Angela Merkel after Germany's rout of Portugal on Monday.
The 29-year-old Gunners star had previously said he wanted to get a selfie with the German leader, who was at Salvador's Arena Fonte Nova to watch the match which saw Thomas Mueller score a hat-trick.
The German leader visited the team dressing room to congratulate Joachim Loew's side on its 4-0 win in its opening Group G match and Podolski seized his chance.
