Borussia Mönchengladbach have caused widespread mirth on social media, ripping into their own defence in a tweet to Real Madrid ahead of Los Blancos' Champions League match at Borussia Dortmund.
Mönchengladbach lay into backline as Real Madrid fly to Dortmund
Having won their last three Bundesliga matches, Dortmund host Real in Group H on Tuesday night on a fine run of domestic form - with their most recent victory a 6-1 thumping of Mönchengladbach at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

And in response to Real's "We're off to Dortmund!" tweet as Zinedine Zidane's men prepared to fly to Germany, Gladbach's community managers took the chance to deliver a scathing assessment of their side's weekend defensive display, quipping:
If you happen to find our defence, please forward it to Mönchengladbach 👍

Not first time Gladbach have joked at own expense on Twitter
Mönchengladbach appear to have a habit of turning to self-deprecating humour when things aren't going the team's way, posting this reaction to Dortmund's third goal on Saturday:
The defence is sadly going to sleep when @BVB come forward. Aaaaaaand it's 3-0. Aubameyang. (45')#fohlenelf #BVBBMG 3-0 pic.twitter.com/AL11016yk8
