An engaged couple have thanked Lukas Podolski after they found love with one another by meeting on the German's official Facebook page.
Fernanda Santana Sontos has revealed that she fell for Simon Hinsel after he contacted her on the social media website when he saw a comment that she had left on Podolski's page.
In an Instagram post to the striker, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Arsenal, Fernanda wrote: "I was on Facebook when I saw your page & liked it very much. I read one post where you said something in Portuguese, it was funny so I decided to comment.
"A German man saw my picture and added me. I didn't know him but decided to accept so I could find out and it all started.
"Now Simon and I are engaged and are getting married this year! I am the happiest person in the world so thank you Lukas Podolski because maybe if you didn't post that message I would never have met the man of my life!"
Podolski responded to the message by writing: "I'm glad for being the Cupid of this beautiful relationship. I wish you two lots happiness, joy and longevity. Enjoy your love for the rest of your lives."
Podolski is on loan at the Serie A club until the end of the season.
