The Dutchman Arjen Robben pulls off bite prank during Bayern’s mid-season training camp, claiming to the media that he’d been bitten by a crocodile while retrieving a ball from a lake in Qatar. To cement his prank, he even showed a bandaged hand which might have been the result of some injury.

But surprisingly enough, number of reporters fell to his joke as they printed lengthy columns and articles saying that Bayern’s stellar striker has actually been bitten by crocodile. And why not? Robben showed flawless acting performance to convince the media of the latest cause of his injury.

“When I got a ball from the hole by the pool, a crocodile bit me”, Robben said.
