The famous Boateng brothers – Kevin and Jerome have endured a difficult week in Europe in the wake of their respective humiliations at club level.
Kevin Boateng was sacked by Schalke 04 on Monday in an embarrassing episode which has soared his reputation.
His younger brother, Jerome, who plays for Bayern Munich, was relentlessly mocked following Bayern Munich's Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona.
Jerome came in for a lot of criticism after Lionel Messi left him on the floor, turning him inside out in scoring Barcelona's second goal in a 3-0 win at the Camp Nou.
The defender was mercilessly mocked on social media with a collection of memes.
The famous Boateng brothers have been in the news for all the wrong reasons and one they would wish away quickly.
