Chelsea’s bus being parked/crashed, David Luiz being David Luiz, Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘drought’ and Xabi Alonso being sound.
It’s been an interesting week in Champions League football and here’s how Twitter reacted.
PSG v Chelsea
Chelsea were up to their old antics before they even got onto the pitch.

Not to worry, David Luiz knows the best way for breaking through Chelsea’s defensive shield… Simpsons’ quotes obviously.

Shakhtar Donetsk v Bayern Munich
Meanwhile, Shakhtar were playing out a snooze-fest against Bayern. Xabi Alonso, being the kind guy he is, gave us poor journalists something interesting to write about.
Alonso RED CARD! 1st yellow OK 2nd yellow? Hmmm – 2 nearly yellow = 1 yellow ??

Schalke v Real Madrid
Real Madrid renewed acquaintances with Schalke last night and Cristiano Ronaldo ended his apparent goal drought. If a month is a drought, we may have to check the dictionary for a new term to describe Kevin Doyle’s form.
Reporting on last nights game @BBCSport say ‘Ronaldo ended a three game goal drought’ – says it all really. #somedrought — Steve Wilson (@SteveWilson1967) February 19, 2015
Basel v Porto
Porto drew with Basel and look a strong bet to take advantage of their away goal advantage in the second leg. There was some controversy when they had a goal ruled out for offside.

Probably a correct call to be fair.
Anyway, that’s the week in tweets. Come back next week to see what the world of social media is saying about the Champions League.
