Sahin Vs Podolski Again Today. They’ve Got Previous

Both Nuri Sahin and Lucas Podolski start for Liverpool and Arsenal today. When the duo were in the Bundesliga, at Dortmund and FC Koln respectively, they nurtured a pretty heated rivalry that peaked back in match during 2010 with some unseemly back and forth’s and gloating. Goal.com did an extensive write-up on their mutual dislike – note the ’3-0′ that Podolski is referring to is a German win over Sahin’s Turkey.
