  • RB Salzburg are set to host Italian club Inter Milan
  • The Austrian club recently taunted Inter's captain with a funny video

The UEFA Champions League match round four takes centre stage today, and Austrian club RB Salzburg appear to be all ready as they welcome Italian giants Inter Milan to the Red Bull Arena for the return leg of the group stage tie.

The Austrian giants, who were on the losing end when the sides clashed at the Guiseppe Meazza on October 24th, appear set to get their much-needed win against Simeone Inzaghi's side, and they made known their intent as they took to social media to troll the captain of their opponent, Lautaro Martinez.

In the TikTok video, the Austrian Bundesliga champions shared a clip from their previous encounter with the Nerazzurri, featuring defender Strahinja Pavlovic skillfully dribbling past Martinez.

Salzburg, in a playful twist, edited the video to depict the 26-year-old Argentine Martinez sliding endlessly until he comically lands in a swimming pool.

The video is playfully captioned, "sliding into the Champions League with Inter," and it has elicited a plethora of amusing responses from fans.

Fan reactions to Salzburg's funny video

@Militoeaud, who couldn't help but laugh, commented,

"Still looking for Lautaro 😂."

@mianimaino, unamused by the humour, retorted,

"Lautaro has more goals than Salzburg this season."

@cristiancosoleto, seemingly displeased with the taunt, reacted with,

"Bro, Lautaro is way better than all of your 'conference league' team 💀."

@Michael, unable to resist the taunt, posted,

"Weee 😂😂😂💔."

@user2000253307227, challenging Salzburg, commented,

"Come say this at the final whistle tomorrow."

While the video was created for light-hearted humour, it's evident that it will inject an extra layer of excitement into the impending clash between the two teams in the UEFA Champions League. The match is of great significance, as both sides are vying for qualification to the next round, making the outcome all the more crucial.

Mbappe trolls PSG teammate Dembele

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ousmane Dembele's difficulty in scoring goals has occasionally made him the target of trolling from fans on social media. However, his teammate Kylian Mbappe took this trolling to another level during a viral interview at an event.

During the event organised by the OneSight foundation, which aims to provide eye tests for 1,000 underprivileged children, Mbappe humorously suggested that Dembele might need glasses to improve his scoring ability.
