That’s the official Kremlin Twitter feed, hacked by Spartak Moscow fans after a Champions League win over Marseille. Translation: “Spartak beat Marseille, Cesar Azpilicueta played brilliantly.” Azpilicueta, you’ll recall, is the player who scored the own goal for Marseille.

Once again, Moscow, we raise our glasses, then quickly lower them to avoid having them seized and used to beat us with.
