Photo: DPAHertha Berlin's Marvin Plattenhardt said on Sunday he would take legal action against Germany's right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) for posting a picture on Twitter of him alongside one of their politicans. The 25-year-old's defender happily posed for selfies with Hertha fans after his stunning second-half free-kick sealed Berlin's 2-1 German league win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. However, the tweet was not deleted and after training on Sunday, Hertha's deadball star said he would take legal action because the picture was used without his permission. Plattenhardt's club Hertha has said they will support him in the event of a legal dispute.
