Manchester City might want to reconsider their social media strategy while star power dazzled off the pitch in Paris.

Another Champions League week is in the books and as always, it was as entertaining in cyberspace as it was on the pitch.

The tweet that grabbed the most attention this week was a gentle bit of trolling that Manchester City gave to their opponents Roma on the afternoon of the game.

You know how that worked out and Totti himself admitted the tweet spurred him on in the game. We guess City won’t try that again.

Also on Tuesday there was a flurry of interest in the star-studded crowd at the Parc des Princes. With the likes of Nicolas Sarkozy, Patrick Kluivert, David Beckham, Beyonce and Jay-Z in attendance, there were almost more pictures of the crowd than the players available post game.

However, this tweet by journo Stefan Bienkowski was perfect for those of us more interested in the beautiful game than than the beutiful people.

Typo of the week, if not the year, goes to Chelsea for this…

Liverpool fans were pretty unhappy with their 1-0 defeat to Basel and this fan wanted to get his feelings across in, erm, one word…

And this tweet, from Second Captains mainstay Ken Early covers the Liverpool fan experience in six seconds

Finally, our own Cillian Sheridan didn’t find the net for Apoel v Ajax but he wasn’t getting discouraged.
