While you were concentrating on the skills and the passes on the field as Mamelodi Sundowns chased after Barcelona in Madiba's honour... Twitter was just out there doing the most with the comedy!
We can all admit that we knew it was going to be a very interesting Wednesday night for SA.
You know Mzansi fam, that soccer match between Sundowns and Barcelona was never going to be just about the soccer.
There were so many things going on last night and we've tried to sum it up for you.
First of all... according to Twitter Sundowns won that match.
Sundowns has won the match 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥👏that 1 goal is all we needed👏 #BarcaDowns #SundownsBarça pic.twitter.com/8WWcG2hZRX

Secondly, Arense was most def not trying to let go of that shirt. It is currently on the most wanted list in Mzansi.
Also, Twitter thinks he should set up an appointment with a sangoma and take the shirt with...
South Africa's Most wanted inside the pocket. 😂 🤣

That's how we roll here in Mzansi.@SABC3 @Official_SABC1 @thomasmlambo @AndileNcube #BlackTwitter pic.twitter.com/WSatOKG0wo
Even though Mzansi knew Sundowns would win against Barcelona through a serious miracle.
We still took bets on them winning and uhm... their loss cost us a lot!

In addition to all that; we had people photoshopping themselves into snaps with Messi. While others were just concerned about Messi filling up the stadium when Cassper couldn't.
Also apparently Messi is EFF. Haai Mzansi Twitter though!
