Michy Batshuayi is a Belgian striker who also plays for Chelsea in the Premier League.
He immortalised himself in internet meme history during England's World Cup clash with Belgium on Thursday night, when he kicked a ball into his own face during a goal celebration.
Ouch! 😂 @mbatshuayi plays a one-two with the post after Januzaj's goal for Belgium
But Batshuayi is also p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ definitely the best footballer on Twitter, and he totally owned it.
Ahahha I knew I would be f*cked the minute I come to my mentions 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why am I so stupid bro 🤦🏾♂️ shit hurts
A regular tweeter, he told his followers that he had predicted his little mishap would have gone viral before he even logged on.
But he joined in, retweeting the clip of him smacking himself in the face with a football.
Players, including England's Jesse Lingard, have been celebrating goals by reenacting moves from the game Fortnite, and Batshuayi said he was just trying to do something different...
He also shared this picture of the moment before it went wrong with the hashtag #InternetUndefeated.
The second just before I knew I f*cked up #InternetUndefeated 😂
But his best tweet of the night was a retweet of a picture shared by his teammate Axel Witsel, of Batshuayi hugging the goalpost, which he captioned "no hard feelings" with two heart emojis.
No hard feelings 💕 https://t.co/mWm5ELqAbk
It's no surprise that Batshuayi owned it, as he's really, really good at Twitter.
His feed is the perfect mix of really funny and really, really pure.
He regularly memes himself.

He took the piss out of his young fans with this great tweet.
Always a lovely day when you can nutmeg some kids in front of all their friends 😍😍😍 .. 😂❤️
But he's also here to inspire them.
Wishing yall a good day 😘🤙🏾 #Motivation
His love for his fellow players is also a thing of beauty.
Missed my lil wizard 😍🇧🇪 #bromance @hazardeden10
And his tweets about coming back from injury to play for his country are just so pure.
The last time I was on a pitch I came out like this and some doctors told me that my World Cup Dreams were over (again) ... today I’m going Russia 😍🏆🇷🇺 #GodIsGreat #determination https://t.co/CtCC1q4inz
He also handled racist abuse from rival fans, which he received while on loan to Borussia Dortmund, in the most dignified way.
💪🏾 a couple idiots should never make us forget why we love football. Lets clean our stadiums and play the beautiful game 🦇❤️🙏🏾 #KickItOut https://t.co/ePJuUGDEhe
In summary: You keep doing you, Michy!
