Social Shots: Sleeping Salah; Man Utd’s new level; Man City prank

Salah sleeping TEAMtalk

Pep Guardiola makes one Manchester City supporter’s day, Mohamed Salah is caught sleeping en route to Liverpool’s training camp, and a Welsh team’s achievement highlights how far Manchester United have fallen – all in Social Shots.

 

In our new regular feature, we take a look at the best social media posts from across the world of football in the past 24 hours. Football and social media can go hand in hand, but not everyone gets it right. Here, we celebrate those that do, highlighting the posts that have made us chuckle, the videos of wonder goals that we’ve just had to watch again, or just anything we felt simply had to be shared….

 

Smashing records… and trophies

Manchester City‘s title winners pulled off this prank fooling people into thinking they’d dropped the Premier League trophy.

 

Kompany’s clothes

Departing captain Vincent Kompany was sporting a great t-shirt for the trophy parade, in memory of Sergio Aguero’s reaction to his wonder goal against Leicester.

 

Taxi for Pep

After last night’s trophy parade, Pep Guardiola cadged a lift home with this delighted supporter.

 

Footy flat cap

Coincidentally, if you were wondering about Pep’s choice of headgear, it was a tribute to City’s life president, who died earlier this year.

Which other Premier League managers could you imagine wearing a flat cap?

 

Sleeping Salah

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain posted this video of Mohamed Salah taking a nap as Liverpool made their way to Marbella for their Champions League final preparations.

 

Copa del Rey request

Looks like Valencia will be more than happy to take up this Barcelona fan’s request to beat them in the Copa Del Rey final…

 

Stranger things

One summer transfer window can change everything…

 

Leipzig legacy

The only non-Leipzig player in the back four of WhoScored’s Bundesliga team of the season is… former Leipzig player Joshua Kimmich.

 

Uni-EFA Europa League

Fair play to Cardiff Met Uni’s football team, who have qualified for next season’s Europa League preliminary round. If they manage to win five games in the competition, they could end up facing Manchester United 🤯

 

On this day…

It’s 11 years since the last all-English Champions League final, where Manchester United beat Chelsea on a penalty shootout – including shocking misses from Cristiano Ronaldo and John Terry.
