RB Leipzig send hilarious message to Man City following Champions League draw

Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig were quick to joke about their Champions League last 16 draw with Manchester City by positing a funny meme on social media.

Pep Guardiola's side will face off against the German club in the new year after the two sides were drawn against each other on Monday. The Blues topped their group as winners - securing a place in the knockout stages with two games to spare - while Leipzig finished runners-up behind Real Madrid in their group.

City will travel to the Red Bull Arena for the first leg on February 22, before welcoming their opponents to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg on March 14.

After the draw was made, Leipzig's English Twitter account posted a meme from the TV show The Simpsons. The image included a caption that read: "I'm in danger".

The Blues avoided a tie against Paris Saint-Germain, as well as missing out on a clash with current Italian champions AC Milan. City came up against Leipzig in last season's group stage - with the two sides featuring in an entertaining 6-3 clash at the Etihad. The German club won the reverse fixture 2-1 after Kyle Walker was sent off.

With Tottenham's clashes with Milan not being scheduled for the same week as City's games against Leipzig, it makes it even more difficult for the Blues' two postponed Premier League matches to be rescheduled. Guardiola's men were meant to face off against Spurs in September, but the fixture was cancelled after the Queen's death.

City's away game at Arsenal was also postponed, so should the Blues make it to the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals, and continue to progress in the Champions League, there appear to be no further free midweek slots to play the two outstanding matches.
