Borussia Dortmund's official account aims savage dig at PSG after reposting four-year old tweet

Borussia Dortmund aimed a brutal dig at Paris Saint-Germain after eliminating the French club in the Champions League semi-finals.

PSG were heavy favourites to progress to the final of the competition for just the second time in club history, but Dortmund produced an underdog story for the ages in claiming a 2-0 aggregate victory.

After shutting out the Parisians in the first leg in Germany last week, Edin Terzic's side repeated the feat at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday evening after Mats Hummels scored the game's only goal early in the second half.

The Bundesliga side certainly rode their luck at times, with PSG hitting the crossbar on four occasions after the woodwork twice denied them last week.

That said, Dortmund defended valiantly and were fully deserving of their victory and a place in the final at Wembley next month, where they will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

Dortmund are generally regarded as a classy club, one that operates within its means and is always gracious in defeat.

The loyalty and dedication of supporters in the famous Yellow Wall has helped to earn that reputation, but like any club, they don't mind dishing out stick to those who have wronged them in the past.

After full-time on Tuesday evening, Dortmund's official X account took a savage dig at PSG by reposting a four-year old tweet.

The tweet in question was from March 2020, published by PSG after they beat Dortmund 2-0 in the second leg of a Champions League round-of-16 tie.

In the first leg, won 2-1 by BVB, then-Dortmund striker Erling Haaland celebrated his goals with his trademark meditation pose.

After the second leg, the PSG squad mocked the striker by copying his pose while posing for a group photo.

Four years later, Dortmund haven't forgotten. On Tuesday evening the BVB admin reposted PSG's tweet with the caption: "Tastes like fine wine."

In the space of a few hours the post earned over 525,000 likes and over 90,000 reposts.

As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.
