Podolski is now at Galatasaray, who were yesterday drawn alongside Astana from Kazakhstan in the Champions League group stages.
The 30 year reacted to the news by tweeting a picture of fictional Kazakh character Borat, created by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, which is unlikely to go well with some in central-Asian country.

So Podolski's joke was bound to offend some people.
