Football
Rio Ferdinand was not backing down in his scathing assessment of Manchester City's defending in their Champions League quarter-final defeat by Lyon, even when pulled up on it by Aymeric Laporte himself.
Say what you see.... https://t.co/oCFiEGrSwl — Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) August 16, 2020
Laporte's City team-mate Bernardo Silva had numerous suggestions for how Liverpool-supporting Twitter trolls could spend their time instead of mocking his side's exit.
The 2019/2020 season has ended for us in a very disappointing way. To all the fans, we're sorry for this frustrating season. The only thing we can promise is that in 2020/2021 we'll fight a lot to do much better and get back to winning important things for you guys! 🔵🔵 — Bernardo Silva (@BernardoCSilva) August 16, 2020 And to all Liverpool fans that have nothing else to do than to come to a Man City player account, I'm also sorry for you but for the wrong reasons...😂 pathetic... go celebrate your titles, or try to find a partner, drink a beer with a friend, read a book...🤦🏻♂️ so many options!😅 — Bernardo Silva (@BernardoCSilva) August 16, 2020

Australia great Ricky Ponting paid tribute to old foe MS Dhoni following the former India captain's retirement.
Congrats @msdhoni on a brilliant international career. I loved and enjoyed every contest we had as players and now I still have to find ways to stop you winning games against the @DelhiCapitals. Look forward to saying it in person in a few weeks time. pic.twitter.com/R34XMtha0h — Ricky Ponting AO (@RickyPonting) August 16, 2020
Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen took the opportunity to restate his belief that his "great buddy" Dhoni never got him out at Lord's for his first Test wicket in 2011, despite Indian claims to the contrary.
My message for MSD, now that he's retired! Time to clear the air! 🤣🤣🤣@StarSportsIndia @Sanjog_G https://t.co/7oFCYXUQoj — Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) August 16, 2020
Sam Billings recalled his Indian Premier League days, where he shared a pitch with Dhoni for Chennai Super Kings.
Very lucky to have played with both of these legends. Learnt a huge amount from both; awesome players but even better blokes 🙌🏼 Congrats on two incredible international careers @msdhoni @ImRaina ! https://t.co/ioI6jxonFJ — Sam Billings (@sambillings) August 16, 2020
