Jerome Boateng should probably stay away from his Twitter mentions for a long, long time

Ah, Jerome.

Lionel Messi is magic. Scratch that, he's more than magic. More than supernatural. And his goals tonight were simply sublime. But... ah, Jerome. The German defender was made to look a right mug as he opted to fall flat on his backside like a felled tree when Messi came running at him in the 80th minute at the Nou Camp to score Barcelona's second. Instead of tackling one of the most deadly threats of all time, Boateng tried the old fall-on-your-arse trick instead. It didn't work. And no-one missed it. Poor Jerome is going to be the brunt of a bad joke for a long, long time. And the good folk at Twitter hounded him out this evening after his embarrassment. And to think that it all started so well for him. https://twitter.com/JB17Official/status/595939181567827968 Then Messi Gate happened. And he went into hiding. https://twitter.com/sprtswtr/status/596056220970135552 https://twitter.com/jogabo/status/596049052619288576 https://twitter.com/LiamKeen_/status/596059359655886849 https://twitter.com/dan11meancactus/status/596058855408304128 https://twitter.com/Achrafbbrahim/status/596058609244594176 https://twitter.com/PshycoPaaji/status/596058271254876160 https://twitter.com/ConorrMahonyy/status/596049675163164672 https://twitter.com/Beckham_RF/status/596048288996007939 https://twitter.com/AFCWilshere4/status/596047849038680064 https://twitter.com/LiamJPalmer/status/596047794445656066 https://twitter.com/holtzinho10/status/596060758548570112 https://twitter.com/FattHn/status/596060288828313600 https://twitter.com/lsnongrum/status/596055371845804032 https://twitter.com/MrCracknell/status/596049071200165889 But, even at the bottom of that barrel, at least Jerome has one friend in Frau Boateng. https://twitter.com/Frau_Boateng/status/596054048333238272
