The best and funniest tweets from the world of football this week, featuring Man City’s two-year ban from the Champions League, which Jose Mourinho took no delight from, of course, Mo Salah takes up a new sport, and a football term makes it into the dictionary.

When other fans saw it, they alerted security, who escorted the man out.
Then, as opposing players came to hug Kwadwo, the entire stadium stood up and chanted "Nazis Out!" pic.twitter.com/FHQP9Pe18J
