The witty banter stage of the Champions League has arrived

Paris Saint-Germain just delivered a lovely opening banter salvo ahead of their Champions League tie with Chelsea.

The modern era of Twitter in sports has been something of a mixed bag. We’ve had players and teams absolutely embarrass themselves at times, using the social media platform to say or do some truly stupid things. Sometimes, though -- sometimes we get gold.

For those confused, that’s a statue of Sir Winston Churchill, a British war hero and prime minister during World War II. This particular statue is near Paris’ Petits Palaris, and has been subtly photoshopped to give him a Paris Saint-Germain scarf.

Yeah, that one's probably going to annoy some Chelsea fans. Can't wait to see the response.
