In one of the funniest moments of the season, Memphis Depay turned what looked like a brilliant free kick opportunity into pure comedy. As he stood over the ball, fans and players alike were expecting one of his trademark curling efforts to find the top corner — but what happened next left everyone laughing.
Depay struck the ball with confidence, but instead of bending past the wall or hitting the target, the ball smashed directly into his own teammate, who was lying down behind the opponent’s wall — the same teammate meant to prevent low shots, not block his own man!
For a second, there was silence around the pitch — and then Depay himself couldn’t hold back his laughter. Even his teammates joined in, laughing at the bizarre and unlucky turn of events. The teammate on the ground quickly got up, shaking his head with a smile, while Depay looked both embarrassed and amused by the whole situation.
Moments like this remind fans that football isn’t just about goals and tactics — it’s also about the unpredictable, human side of the game. Memphis Depay’s reaction showed his good spirit, turning a potentially awkward moment into a light-hearted scene that will surely make the highlight reels.
