The 40-year-old former German international and world champion could not go on the field due to a calf muscle injury. On his Instagram page, he shared photos from his unexpected visit to the stands, where he has 5.7 million followers.

“With our Torcida Gornik. Incredible passion. This is football!”

Torcida Gornik is a group of ultras that supports the club in Zabrze. Despite the cold weather with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, fans watched the match in which their team played a serious draw 1:1 with 'Krakow'.

This match was not the first for Podolski, as a few days earlier he was also with the ultras during the club's victory 3:2 over 'Widzew' from Lodz, but he stayed in his t-shirt then.

After this match, 'Gornik Zabrze' holds the first position in the Ekstraklasa table, ahead of 'Krakow' by one point.

Podolski joined the Polish team in 2021, as he has supported it since childhood due to family traditions.
