FC Schalke 04 had a bit of time for pranks -- aka sick and twisted trickery -- in a 5-0 rout of MSV Duisburg yesterday.

Franco Di Santo putting a spider down Leroy Sané's back during Schalke's win at Duisburg yesterday. #S04 https://t.co/5e3newMOWL — Bundesliga Spotlight (@BundesligaSpot) August 9, 2015

Per Bundesliga Spotlight, striker Franco Di Santo picked a spider off the field and dropped it down his teammate's jersey. Poor Leroy Sané then proceeded to act in the only rational way possible:

TAKE THE JERSEY OFF. SHAKE THE SPIDER OUT.

If you, like Di Santo, think that was funny, try watching this video posted in Germany in 2009. SPIDERS ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER.
