Borussia Monchengladbach lose match but win Twitter with ‘ANNOUNCE RAIN’ message to City

Borussia Monchengladbach may not be the best team in the Champions League (exhibit A: their 4-0 defeat at Man City on Wednesday night), but their social media team are top when it comes to Twitter #BANTZ.

The Gladbachers (not their nickname, we just made that up), are a dab hand at the old Twitter, and were bringing the #LOLZ all day before and then during their match at the Etihad. The @borussia_en account replied to the official City account with this before kick off: https://twitter.com/borussia_en/status/776111239395180545 But as the goals went in for City, Monchengladbach got a bit more desperate: https://twitter.com/borussia_en/status/776154235696283648 And they weren't done there. After the match the official Champions League Twitter account put out a summary of the night's results, but presumably because their graphics department had created the template before they went home, there was no room for the City/Monchengladbach score, which was of course supposed to be played on Tuesday. Cue the Gladbach social media department wags once again: They had been at it before the game as well, with this Archer inspired meme in reply to City's official account. https://twitter.com/borussia_en/status/776087024633774080 Good work lads. All that stuff about Germans not having a sense of humour is so... true. Read more from SportsJOE:
