Donnarumma's deleted tweet

Donnarumma then took to Twitter to celebrate the win, saying"

"Three points in the bag."

He also shared photos of the team celebrating, with particular attention paid to Matthijs de Ligt. The tweet was deleted soon after, but not before it was screenshotted.

Donnarumma's mistake explained

Bavarian Football Works has now explained that it wasn't Donnarumma who shared the tweet in the first place. The PSG keeper shares the same agent as de Ligt; therefore, the duo has the same social media manager.

De Ligt's celebratory tweet was accidentally shared on Donnarumma's Twitter account, with the Bayern player's post seen below.

Fans confused by Donnarumma's post

Naturally, many fans were confused by the post, with some assuming that the screenshot of the deleted tweet was actually photoshopped.

Others assumed Donnarumma was trying to butter up Bayern so that he could make a move to the German side.

@iam_AGhimire:

"That's what happens when your manager manages multiple accounts."

@WezzlTV:

"This was photoshopped right???"

@AshleyMehlape:

"Telling a club to buy you without telling them to buy you."

@lordsalty57_:

"Is it so hard for players to run their own accounts??"

Musiala's incredible goal for Bayern

Jamal Musiala recently proved why he is considered a generational talent, following his incredible solo goal for Bayern Munich, Sports Brief reported.

The Germany international pulled off a Lionel Messi-like move, dribbling past numerous players before rifling in an unstoppable shot.

Known for his composure with the ball at his feet, insane dribbling skills and pace, the attacker put the icing on the cake as Bayern beat Wolfsburg 4-2.
