🎥 Lukas Podolski turns 40: four rockets for his birthday cake

The Kölsche Jung is having a birthday. Of course, we want to remember his left foot, with which Lukas Podolski conjured up many beautiful goals throughout his career.
DFB fans will probably remember his goal from the farewell match against England.
Poldi also showed what he can do with his feet at 1. FC Köln.
And because Arsenal was also mentioned by the Kölners, a rocket like this one must not be missing.
But the striker still hasn't had enough of football and recently extended his contract with Gornik Zabrze. In the Polish first division, Poldi shows that he can still score beautiful goals at his age.

'The abuse never stops' - Lionesses to avoid social media

England will begin their Euro 2025 campaign against France on 5 July [Getty Images] England forward Alessia Russo says she prefers to stay off social media during major tournaments because of how "damaging" abuse can be. The 26-year-old was speaking about the issue alongside her Lionesses teammates as they prepare for their European Championship defence in Switzerland next month.

"I think every player might have a different story about that side of the game but it's definitely one that can be really damaging," said Arsenal forward Russo, 26. "I have faced it in the past and I think most players here have. When I was younger I probably got sucked into it more. Advertisement "I read it more than I should have and listened to it more than I should have. The only opinions that matter are my team-mates, my coaches and my family. "In my first Euros I was on social media and I would have a look, have a scroll, and I got caught in a trap sometimes. "Going into the World Cup, I completely came off everything and I had people to run my Instagram. I just focused on the tournament. "It's personal preference and whatever works for the team. Staying away from it and staying focused as a team is what works for me." Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, James discussed abuse she received, saying: "Sometimes it's not even to do with my performance, even when someone loses at Fifa [EA Sports FC video game], my card scores against them and they're sending me abuse. Advertisement "I guess when it's your first time though, maybe it might touch someone but I'm used to it, I'm going to just brush it off my shoulder." Chelsea midfielder Kiera Walsh told 5 Live she no longer uses social media, while club teammate Lucy Bronze added: "People write horrible things and obviously our families read it as well and it can be upsetting if you see something that's not very nice. "Social media is amazing in one way and absolutely awful in another way. I think most of us have been off at some point." Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone said that while she will still uses Instagram during the tournament, she will respect the decision of any team-mate who decides to keep off social media while in Switzerland. Advertisement "I know other people turn their phones off. We have that conversation and all know how each other wants to go through the tournament," she said. "If I see something on Instagram I'm not going to tell someone or blurt it out to the team because they don't want to see it. I think it's a personal preference." Having experienced online abuse as a young player, both her and Russo want to help younger players in the squad deal with it. "I think from experiences me and Alessia have had in the past, we've always been the people that want to make sure the younger or less experienced players coming into the squad feel relaxed and feel OK," Toone added.

Chelsea could derail João Pedro transfer to Newcastle

Newcastle United may be about to miss out on top summer target Joao Pedro, after transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Chelsea are now tracking the Brighton forward. Eddie Howe's side have been exploring options to strengthen their attacking line ahead of their return to Champions League action. Their interest in Pedro had appeared to intensify in recent weeks, with a deal looking more likely than not. Advertisement However, Newcastle's pursuit could now be derailed, with Chelsea understood to have added the Brazilian striker to their shortlist of summer targets. That's according to Romano, who claimed that Enzo Maresca's side 'highly rated' the 22-year-old, who netted 10 times in 27 Premier League outings last season. 'Joao Pedro is going to leave – expected to leave,' Romano said on his YouTube channel. 'He is open to leaving Brighton in the summer transfer window. Let's see what happens with the clubs. 'Newcastle already tried to sign Joao Pedro before he joined Brighton. A deal was done verbally but it collapsed for different reasons. Now he remains a player on the list of the recruitment team at Newcastle. Advertisement 'They want Joao Pedro at Newcastle. They made contact with Brighton, as was reported in England in recent days, but there is still no club-to-club agreement. What I can confirm is Joao Pedro is on Chelsea's list. 'He is highly rated by Chelsea. They see him as an interesting option because he can cover different positions and knows the league. He can be a different option for the squad. For sure, Joao Pedro is a name on their list.' In a surprising twist, Pedro's Brighton teammate Igor Julio has already publicly revealed that the striker informed the club of his desire to move on this summer. 'Joao Pedro had already told Brighton some time ago that his desire was to leave, seek new things, take the next step,' Igor told Trivela. 'It seems it will be difficult and complicated for him to stay here. 'We have to be honest, the club already knows that. [I am] very happy for him. He deserves it. He's been here in England for five years and hasn't played for a big team yet. It's his moment, his time, so he can make the best decision and be happy wherever he is.'
