Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar’s team investigated the circulated claim and found that it was fake. The photos show 22-year-old Danish soccer player Jesper Lindstrøm, who plays with Eintracht Frankfurt SC.

Thomas Müller, 32, is a German soccer player for FC Bayern Munich and Germany’s national football team. The photos were circulated recently after the photo was shared by French and other Facebook accounts, mocking the ‘stark’ similarities between Jesper Lindstrøm and Thomas Müller.
