Bayern Munich legend Mehmet Scholl has left a ruthless comment on Lucas Hernandez's farewell post following his move to PSG.
After four trophy-laden years at the Bundesliga club, Hernandez completed his switch to Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday for a reported £34 million plus add-ons.
The 27-year-old defender, who joined Bayern from Atletico Madrid in 2019, made 107 appearances for the Bavarians but missed a large chunk of last season with a cruciate ligament injury.
Shortly after PSG announced the deal, Hernandez penned a heartfelt goodbye message to Bayern's fanbase.

He wrote on Instagram: "Today it is with a heavy heart that I share my farewell from the club.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to face new challenges. I would like to thank you for your unwavering support during my time here. The moments shared will forever remain in my memory as well as the trophies won, especially the Champions League I always dreamed of."
He added: "I would like to thank my fellow players, coaching team, the entire club staff as well as the management and coaches of FC Bayern Munich for their trust and their unconditional support at all times. This club has made me grow as a player and as a person. Proud to have worn the jersey of one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.
"Lastly, I'm asking you to respect my decision, even if goodbyes are always hard."
The post received over 5,000 comments from fans and players alike, including former Bayern midfielder Mehmet Scholl, who was in no mood to pass on his warm wishes.
In fact, the former Bayern Munich II manager questioned the sincerity of Hernandez's message by saying: "I don't believe a word you say. Byebye [kissing face emoji]."
Here's how fans reacted to Scholl's message on social media.
One said: "Mehmet Scholl speaks for all of us Bayern fans," while another commented: "This is the funniest thing I've ever seen sorry."
A third wrote: "Lucas was a good player for us. This is a business, I don’t hold anything against him for the move."
A fourth added: "What’s the need for this? Man needs some headlines after not being a pundit for almost 10 years anymore or what?"
Hernandez, meanwhile, expressed his delight at sealing a move to the Ligue 1 champions.
"I'm really excited," he told the club's website. "I've been waiting to join PSG for a long time, and it's finally happened. It's a very special day for me and I'm very happy to be here."
