John Terry aimed a brutal dig at James Maddison after he was called out following Tottenham's Europa League triumph over Manchester United.
Spurs beat Man United 1-0 in Wednesday's Europa League final to win their first major trophy in 17 years.
Brennan Johnson's goal just before the break ended the club's long-standing trophy drought.

Three Spurs players missed out on a medal despite playing in Bilbao.
Maddison, who missed the final through injury, was in attendance to provide support to his teammates and spoke to CBS Sports following Spurs' victory, where he poked fun at Roy Keane.
In another interview, he referenced Terry, saying he wore his full kit for the trophy presentation like the Chelsea legend back in 2012.
"I did not want to do a John Terry," he said.

"I know I played a big part in the lead up and I deserved this just as much as all of us."
Maddison also messaged Terry on Instagram.
Accompanied with an image of himself and Johnson with the Europa League trophy, he wrote: "To kit. Full John Terry mode. Anything to say tonight John?"

Terry obliged and took no prisoners as he issued a ruthless response.
The legendary defender joked about Spurs' woeful Premier League campaign and brought up his own trophy-laden career in a savage post.
On his Instagram story, he wrote: "I remember my first trophy ah bless them. Get the tequila out. Great season from you boys, you should be all proud! 16 to go...

"After that performance I think you have a chance. You just have to live for 900 years."
Terry was also unavailable for his side's European final. He was suspended for Chelsea's Champions League final in the 2011/12 season against Bayern Munich.
But he participated in the trophy presentation in his full kit despite not playing.
