GermanyCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Lukas Josef Podolski is a former professional footballer who played as a striker or left winger. He is the current owner of Ekstraklasa club Górnik Zabrze, for whom he played before his retirement in 2026. He was known for his powerful and accurate left foot, explosive shooting, technique and probing attacks from the left side. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
24 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2006–2014The archive holds 24 team sheets naming Lukas Podolski in Germany's starting line-up, from 2006-06-09 to 2014-06-26.
24 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
