FC Barcelona's early Champions League exit is also a setback for Robert Lewandowski. The attacker wanted to play in the best and biggest competition and thus recommend himself for the Ballon d'Or. The ridicule for him is correspondingly huge - even from big brands and companies.

Even before the last game in the group stage, Barcelona are already eliminated from the Champions League. The hope that FCB would return to its former glory under Xavi as coach and thus convince in the premier class has so far come to nothing.

It's also a major setback for Robert Lewandowski, who really wanted to join the Catalans in the summer. Although the league is only three points behind the top of the table and he has scored a few goals himself, the Champions League is something special. Especially if you want to recommend yourself for the Ballon d'Or.

A goal that could also have failed prematurely. Because the end was garnished with a 0-3 home defeat against Bayern, Lewandowski's malice is immense.

Numerous fans of the Munich team are showing their satisfaction online, as they haven't forgotten some of the striker's comments from a few months ago. But large accounts from some companies also get involved with a few jokes – at the expense of the 34-year-old.

The airline Ryanair, for example, which is known for loose jokes and memes on Twitter, posted an image of a flight ticket. Issued for Lewandowski, from Barcelona back to Munich. The flight number: CL 2022. He was then asked whether he would prefer an early check-in.

Another gimmick: If you scan the QR code shown, you reach a website where you can buy counterfeit replicas of the Ballon d'Or - even with your own name on it.

A thoroughly nasty and malicious, but at the same time funny and thoughtful joke. It can be assumed that, should Lewandowski notice anything at all, he can take it with the necessary humor.
