Spanish politician left red faced after mistaking Ozil for someone else

Atweet from Almudena Negro of Spain's People's Party has left her red faced, after Negro believed that a photo of Mesut Ozil was actually one of her party's political rivals Pablo Gomez Perpinya.

In order to promote staying at home, the Mas Madrid politician shared an old Instagram post from Ozil, who was playing video games on a giant screen, and this seems to be where the confusion stemmed from.

"This is how the left work," Negro said as she started her tweet.

"Pablo Gomez Perpinya is playing FIFA on a posh super TV while the People's Party delegates are working.

"Yet he then criticises Isabel Diaz Ayuso.

"You need to have big balls for that."

Pablo Gomez Perpinya responded, correcting his opponent on Instagram.
