As we’re constantly told: don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
Sometimes though, even the world’s biggest football clubs get caught peddling fake news!
Boooooooooooooooo!
On Saturday, the official Bayern Munich Twitter account congratulated defender Rafinha for breaking the record of playing in 30 DFB-Pokal matches and winning 30 DFB-Pokal matches.
Rafinha the record breaker 😛 30 #DFBPokal appearances ⚽ 30 #DFBPokal wins 💪 #MiaSanMia @R13_official–
But, as you can see in the image below, the Brazilian has in fact lost a cup game at Bayern – against Borussia Dortmund in 2015’s semi-final.
So, the 32-year-old hasn’t broken the record at all.
We await Bayern’s response over this egregious error.
