It’s just a week until the resumption of this year’s Champions League and there is a lot for fans to get excited about.
The return of European football’s premier competition, seeing the best go up against each other and, for some, even welcome distraction from the league.
For others, it’s a cruel time of year, those cast off in the Europa League or without any continental football to greet can be the jealous type.
And as you can see from this exchange, one Manchester United fan seemed exactly that.
Unfortunately for them, German giants Bayern Munich had a social media editor on one that day.
It all started with this rather innocuous tweet from the official Champions League account.
Next week... 😍 #MondayMotivation #UCL pic.twitter.com/Dtkrr5Ru1M

Bayern then simply tweeted their excitement at facing Arsenal next week.

Which drew this response from a random United fan.
@FCBayernUS @ChampionsLeague for that dab alone you should be disqualified

Rubbing salt into the wounds were Bayer Leverkusen, hailing their domestic rivals for the shade they were throwing.
