The Belgium striker sealed his place in World Cup infamy after a truly hilarious goal celebration fail.
MATCH REPORT: Did England really lose after Belgium defeat?
UNWANTED HISTORY: The cruel way Senegal were knocked out in Russia
Trying to celebrate teammate Adnan Januzaj’s winning goal against England, the 24-year-old got it horribly wrong.
The image of the youngster blasting the ball off the post and back onto his face is now likely to haunt him for some time.
Unsurprisingly, memes of the Belgian have flooded social media, with loan club Borussia Dortmund among the long list of posters to poke fun at the striker.
You will be known as Memey Batshuayi from now on sorry mate
