Barcelona and Bayern Munich mutually piss off both sets of fans with Twitter banter

Let's hope their semi-final games are infinitely more interesting.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich play each other in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday. In the time honoured [circa 2013] tradition, the Twitter accounts have been engaging in light-hearted bantz ahead of the game.

We’re looking forward to playing you @FCBarcelona. Are you ready for some of this? #FCBFCB https://t.co/2LUkDHq37Q

'Oh no you did'n!' came the reply from Camp Nou

.@FCBayernEN Bring it on. Our players can do that too! #FCBFCB https://t.co/7sVSFpsh3s — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) May 4, 2015

After 26 minutes of head-scratching at Bayern's Allianz Arena HQ, they fired back this volley

.@FCBarcelona Fair enough, but you don't win games with skills alone ? #FCBFCB pic.twitter.com/4FJw9Zf7u9

'Is that all you got?' chortled the Catalans 

.@FCBayernEN Skills don’t exactly lose you games either ;-) #FCBFCB pic.twitter.com/m9SEDuQSbl — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) May 4, 2015

Apart from some demented 'SLAYED!' and 'BA HAHAHAHAs', the general public was not impressed
