The 29-year-old was accused on social media of wanting to make fun of his opponent – who was still 1-0 at the time.
The English Twitter account of the German national team commented on the action with a tearful emoji, a heart and was happy regarding “Rüdiger’s legs”, which Hamann erupted: “It’s a shame that you even post it,” complained the 49-year-old at Twitter.
