Lukas Podolski has hit back at former Germany international Lothar Matthaus by referencing his four failed marriages.

Matthaus recently criticised Podolski, who has joined Inter Milan on loan from Arsenal, for spending too much time on Twitter.

According to 101greatgoals.com, in response, the 29-year-old took to the social networking website to write: "I find it very amusing that Matthaus should give me precise tips on how to behave."

He also added emojis of a bride and a broken heart, which appears to refer to Matthaus's four failed marriages, as well as the hashtags #GreatCoach #Greenkeeper.
