If you had just won the World Cup, what's the first thing you would do? Do a little dance? Drink a lot of Champagne? Or snap a selfie and share it with the world?
The German national team did all three last night... but not necessarily in that order.
In fact, long before the Eurotrance began pumping and the fizz started flowing, Germany's elated players were taking selfies with whoever would oblige.
Some, such as game-winner Mario Gotze, Mezut Ozil and Andre Schurrle, were happy enough to take a picture hugging the World Cup trophy. Lukas Podolski, however, had set his sights on a far bigger prize - a super selfie with the World Cup on one arm and his nation's chancellor, Angela Merkel, on the other.
And the German stateswoman was happy to oblige when she joined the team in their dressing room to share in their joy at just winning the biggest prize in football.
Eager not to be outdone by his teammate, midfielder Sami Khedira - who is rumoured to be on the brink of joining Podolski at Arsenal next season - took his selfie campaign a step further.
Not only did he manage to snare Merkel and the World Cup trophy, but later posed for a picture with singer Rihanna.
It was not Rihanna's first selfie of the day either. Minutes earlier she posted a picture online of herself waving a German national football shirt in the air.
Brazilian midfielder Kaka posted a super-selfie of his own - a group photo with David Beckham and World Cup legend Pele.
Others to indulge in the online craze were David Beckham with his three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, as well as basketballer LeBron James.
