Whoever said the Germans lacked a sense of humour?

Bayern Munich last night proved that is certainly not the case as they took a moment out from drubbing Roma 7-1 in the Champions League to make a joke at West Brom's expense.

On Monday night, the official West Brom Twitter account appeared to mock Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini as he prepared to come on.

It read: "Fellaini has now taken his tracksuit off, fortunately he has a Man Utd strip on underneath".

Fellaini had the last laugh as within moments of coming on he scored a screamer into the top corner in the match that ended 2-2.

Since then, Anders Lindegaard has accused the Baggies of lacking class and the club have since apologised, insisting it was not meant to be disrespectful and that the comment was in relation to the cold weather.

Everyone thought it was over, and it was until last night.

Bayern Munich, one of the giants of European football, decided to get involved by posting the tweet below as Franck Ribery prepared to come on during their 7-1 win over Roma.

They weren't the only ones. West Brom's bitter rivals Wolves also got in on the act during their 2-0 win over Middlesbrough.

We'll be keeping a close eye for any more during tonight's games.
