Bayern Munich star Rafinha insists he meant no offence with his choice of Halloween costume.
The Bundesliga club sparked outrage as they shared a photograph with their 4.51 million followers of several first-team players wearing a variety of outfits for the occasion.
Many were immediately drawn to Rafinha who appeared to be dressed as an Arab bomber, holding a package showing the word attention when translated from German to English.

Unsurprisingly, the post attracted a furious backlash and the picture was soon taken down before Rafinha addressed the criticism he had received.
However, the Brazilian only made things worse after sharing ANOTHER photo of him in the offensive costume.
Halloween is a scary celebration with exaggerated costumes, Rafinha told his followers on Twitter.

The 33-year-old full-back then deleted his apology before re-uploading the message with a slightly less offensive photograph.
What a mess. Probably stop digging now, pal?
