Bayern spot on with Ribery tweet

Cape Town - Bayern Munich poked fun at West Bromwich Albion with a similar "taken off his tracksuit" tweet on Tuesday night.. 

During Monday night's English Premiership match, West Brom tweeted, what was meant as a joke, a jibe at Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini when he was introuduced into the game.

The tweet backfired when Fellaini scored his first ever United goal and at the time, the equaliser. (Read that story HERE!)

Those in charge of Bayern Munich's twitter account were clearly paying attention and tweeted a similar message when Franck Ribery was brought on against Roma in Champions League action on Tuesday.

This time it was a compliment, poking fun at those in charge of the Baggies twitter account.

Bayern's tweet:
