You’re going to have to tell us what it said as it’s already been deleted

Could cause a bit of bother!

What?

He compared his mate to a black cartoon character. I'm sure Mendy took it in the right context but here come the social justice crew...

Looks like Mendy.

Already deleted. Anyone got a screenshot?

He tweeted a picture of Mendy as a kid next to a cartoon mascot of a candy in Portugal which would probably be classed as a racist caricature over here. Despite Mendy and even Mbappe liking the tweet, I can't wait for the media to call him a racist and the FA to ban him.

I love him to bits, he's one of the loveliest footballers in the world according to many, and it goes without saying that he would have meant no harm, but what a fucking moron to tweet that.

Sorry, guess its an old photo of Mendy next to a cartoon character promoting a Spanish chocolate peanut snack (conguitos or something like that), lots of reaction on twitter and bound to cause a shitstorm

I saw it. Wasn't bothered by it, but knew the professional ofendees would be out in force.

It was an old cartoon which bore a striking resemblance to a young Ben Mendy.

No different to someone posting Mr Potato Head next to Miguel Delaney.

That Padr81 on Sad Cafe really is the biggest sycophantic piece of shit.

Never afraid to make a mountain out of a molehill if it gains favour.

Apologies to any moles out there who are easily offended.
