Rio Ferdinand has aimed a sly dig at a Man City fan on social media after their shock 4-2 Champions League defeat to PSG on Wednesday (January 22).

Former Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele came off the bench to start PSG’s comeback in the 56th minute before Bradley Barcola scored the equaliser in the 60th.
Portuguese wonderkid Joao Neves put the Parisians ahead with a diving header from a freekick. Goncalo Ramos then rounded off the scoring in added time to secure a memorable three points for Luis Enrique’s side.
