Twitter Reacts - The Best Of Twitter from the week's games (Gameweek 15)
We’re back with the best of Twitter from the past week. European teams played their final Champions League group games before the draw for the knock-out rounds were announced and there were some rather interesting league games.
Apart from which there was the recent Ballon d’Or award ceremony which Cristiano Ronaldo won for the 4th time in his career. We take a look at some of the best tweets from the week.
We start off in the Champions League with Leicester finishing top of their group but losing 5-0 to Porto.
Them feels!
*Porto 5-0 leicester*

However, Man City were beaten by Leicester with Jamie Vardy scoring a hat-trick after a long barren spell, the game ended 4-2 to the Foxes.
Twitter tore into Pep Guardiola, the City defence and Claudio Bravo
Pep Guardiola really pushing boundaries with this new false goalkeeper position.

Welcome Pep!
Welcome to the Premier League Pep Guardiola.

Hairdryer treatment anyone?
City players would definitely be getting the hairdryer treatment after this game if only Pep owned one.

Moving on, Arsenal beat Stoke 3-1 to go top of the league temporarily.
So Stoke is the spawn of... What?
If Tottenham had a kid with Chelsea, it be Stoke.

Stoke’s fans sang a nasty chant about Aaron Ramsey to the tune of, “He walks with a limp”, which was pretty despicable.
Stoke City fans: "Aaron Ramsey, he walks with a limp".

Fucking hell.
Arsenal fan Piers Morgan was spot on
Sounds like Stoke fans had their brains broken same day as Shawcross decimated Ramsey's leg. #SFCvAFC

And Mark Hughes walked out of the press conference after being asked about it saying, “I didn’t hear it.”

Chelsea beat a defensive West Brom 1-0 with Diego Costa bagging the winner late in the game to go above Arsenal and lead the league. Maybe Diego Costa was the one who gave the Orc sounds for The Lord Of The Rings... just maybe.

And to end things, it’s Sergio Ramos with the 90+2’ header against Deportivo to win the game!
Real Madrid’s fans even prophetically chanted it!
