Lukas Podolski celebrates Germany's emphatic win over Portugal with chancellor Angela Merkel.

Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski took the opportunity to grab a photo with German chancellor Angela Merkel after the national side defeated Portugal at the World Cup.

Germany opened their Group G campaign in Brazil with a convincing 4-0 victory over Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates at the Arena Fonte Nova.

Merkel, who has attended numerous matches to support Germany, joined the players in the dressing room after the game to pose for photos with the team.

Podolski posted the picture on his Instagram account, with the message: "4:0 win and the promised selfie with the Chancellor! Regards from Brazil! #selfie #dfb #poldi #aha #merkel #brazil #worldcup #brazil #instamoments."
