Lukas Podolski couldn’t find his shinguards in Champions League loss

Arsenal’s loss to Borussia Dortmund, in one vine.

Friedemann Vogel

Arsenal were losing 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund. It was their Champions League opener, so it wasn't a massive deal, but they were getting beat down. They weren't on near the same level as the Germans.

So they turned to a German of their own, Lukas Podolski, to save them and, whoops, he can't find his shinguards.

Shockingly, the team that couldn’t locate its equipment did not manage a comeback.
