Run of Gianni Infantino Jokes Makes the Rounds During Champions League Draw

Gianni Infantino played host to the UEFA Champions League group draw on Thursday night. 

And bless his heart—he does try so very hard. 

But while all anyone really wants to see is the draw and where their teams are drawn, Infantino must go through the motions and do the standard PR stunt in the draw's buildup. 

The Internet typically has some fun with the bald UEFA chief executive during these types of events.

But it wasn't all bad for Infantino. His burn on the Champions League-absent Manchester United when talking about Barcelona's 2011 final opposition went over well with the non-United types.
