"We weren't in the game, we weren't fresh in our heads. But I heard Mathäus, he knows everything again. Everything is bad here with us! We lacked a lot, calm on the ball and cleverness. But it was the fourth game in a row at full throttle, so that can happen," he said as quoted by GHANASoccernet.com.

Matthäus, a World Cup winner with Germany, had said on Sky Sports the veteran midfielder was a bad bargain for Hertha following his return to the club which triggered Boateng's reaction.

"It wasn't what you brought last time," Matthäus said as quoted by GHANASoccernet.com.

The defeat over the weekend means Hertha Berlin need at least a point in their final game of the season against Borussia Dortmund to survive.

Kevin-Prince Boateng joined Hertha Berlin last summer from Italian Serie B side AC Monza, having left the German club 14 years ago.
