Chile have released the full details of their squad for the Confederations Cup this summer and in one of their graphics they listed Alexis as a Bayern Munich player.
- Player focus: Alexis scores for 4th league game in a row, will he stay to make it 54?
- Alexis makes Star Premier League Team of the Season
- Alexis on his relationship with Ozil: “We have that ability and ambition to score goals”

In what is clearly a massive mistake, they rectified it on other graphics, but not, of course, before it had been seen by the internet.

Seleção Chilena pelo visto corrigiu a imagem ontem mesmo https://t.co/BfLZJGg75p

That last tweet says ‘Chilean team apparently corrected the image yesterday’.
So what does this mean?
Well, the only thing it means at this point is that the graphic designer has a sense of humour or is rubbish at their job.
Beyond that, the rest is pure speculation.
