Benjamin Mendy: Laughing Mate, can you believe they thought it was a mask! My face ain't no art gallery!
You should've seen their faces when I told them it wasn't a friggin' tattoo! Priceless! laughing so hard
Guy sends 2 more photos, one of him just waking up with a massive shiner and bruise underneath his eye, the other one being a closer look at the bruise
Dude, my face looks like I went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali! chuckles But hey, it's all good, you know? Just a little souvenir from the pitch.
Bet he ate a few people on the pitch too
Haha, you know it, bro! When I'm not scoring goals, I'm usually "The People's Champion" in the middle of a brawl!
Who was it that threw a punch at ya??
Ah, you know how it goes, man. Just a little friendly scuffle with some rival fans. Nothing I can't handle though!
Guy sends a link to an article about the injury, apparently a cheap shot from behind by a rival player who wanted to be on the team instead of him
Bro, that's some next-level jealousy right there! I guess you could say he scored a goal with his fists, hahaha! But hey, it's all good, you know?
It's all part of the game, bro. I've had my fair share of bumps and bruises, but I always bounce back.
Nah you don’t, you need a lot of flowers and something nice to watch after those takeins
Haha, well, I do love me some flowers, bro! And after a tough game, a little R&B never hurt anyone. Maybe a romantic dinner with the ladies, eh?
Nah you need something a bit lighter after this… sendin out a request to all the pretty anime girls on here
Oh, you know I've got that covered, bro! I'm like a chameleon - I can switch up my style in a heartbeat.
Guy sends a meme of a bunch of footballers, including Benjamin, as anime characters
Haha, that's some top-notch meme right there, bro! You've got the skills, my man!
Watch em run around in high heels and skirts
Haha, you know it, bro! They'll be begging for mercy as I show off my lightning-fast steps!
