Barcelona, Bayern Munich's Twitter Banter Makes You Want to Fast-Forward to Game

It's part of the build-up to Champions League football these days—middling levels of Twitter banter between the clubs' social accounts, and Barcelona and Bayern Munich have duly got involved before their semi-final on Tuesday.

The exchange began with Bayern Munich tweeting Thiago, a former Barca player, pulling off some tricks.

Barcelona responded:

"

.@FCBayernEN Bring it on. Our players can do that too! #FCBFCB https://t.co/7sVSFpsh3s

Next, a change of tack: Bayern hit Barcelona in the trophy cabinet:

"

.@FCBarcelona Fair enough, but you don't win games with skills alone 😉 #FCBFCB pic.twitter.com/4FJw9Zf7u9

"

But, of course, Barca had a response ready:

"

.@FCBayernEN Skills don’t exactly lose you games either ;-) #FCBFCB pic.twitter.com/m9SEDuQSbl

How about celebrating things?

"

.@FCBarcelona Well we’re definitely the champions when it comes to celebrating 😉 #FCBFCB https://t.co/Rv5CkxwVnm

"

Barca had that covered:

"

.@FCBayernEN we love to celebrate here too! #FCBFCB pic.twitter.com/PBmVW7YCQt

Can we just get to kick-off as quickly as possible?
