The best and funniest tweets from the world of football this week, featuring Adebayo Akinfenwa’s infectiously delightful interview following Wycombe Wanderers playoff win, hitting up Jurgen Klopp on WhatsApp, and Leeds United finally return to the Premier League
If the past four years of Beast Mode’s career was a Hollywood film story arc, this week would have been the perfect ending.

Whatever you think of Leeds United, you can’t help but be happy for Marcelo Bielsa.

His backroom staff are probably cursing him, however.
Spare a thought for Marcelo Bielsa’s coaching staff, whilst we all celebrate they’re just about to start binge watching every Burnley game since 2007.

But Pep Guardiola will always have mucho respect for the real G.O.A.T.
Looking forward to Leeds getting pumped 6-0 at Manchester City next season and Pep Guardiola saying that they’re one of the best teams he’s ever faced
