Two Germans. Two world champions. Two men who have recently called it quits at the top of their respective sports. Nico Rosberg, who was recently crowned Formula One champion, and Lukas Podolski, who was part of Joachim Low's World Cup-winning squad in 2014, posed with their respective titles during a photo call at Cologne airport in Germany.
Former Arsenal forward Podolski couldn’t resist the opportunity to post a selfie of the pair clutching their trophies. ‘Selfie of champions,’ the German midfielder posted, as he posed alongside Rosberg. Rosberg shocked the world of motor racing last week when the 31-year-old announced his retirement last Friday — five days after winning his first world title. “I have climbed my mountain, I am on the peak, so this feels right,” Rosberg announced last week.
Podolski, who spent three seasons at the Emirates between 2012 and 2015, announced his retirement from international football back in August.
