The Germany defender inexplicably handled inside the penalty area, gifting Italy a route back into their Euro 2016 quarter-final in Bordeaux.
Leonardo Bonucci stepped up from 12 yards to draw the Italians level at 1-1 – with the blame firmly laid at the door of Mr Boateng.
There were a few different theories to explain his moment of madness…

1) He was actually a ballerina

2) He was a wannabe movie star

3) He had basketball/volleyball aspirations

4) He was hoping to make the German diving squad for Rio

5) He had 'uncontrollable-limb syndrome'

The internet is a ruthless place...
Fortunately, it didn't matter too much as Germany edged a crazy penalty shootout to reach the last four.
