People can't believe what Manchester City fans chanted at Aston Villa's away support during their Premier League fixture last night.
Man City, who were held by Arsenal last weekend, beat Villa 4-1 at the Etihad to go level on points with Liverpool, who face Sheffield United at Anfield tonight.
Phil Foden scored a stunning hat-trick, matching a record by former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo in the process.
Off the pitch, Man City taunted the travelling Villa fans with a chant that people on social media can't get their heads around.
The Etihad faithful chanted "champions of Europe, you'll never sing that" despite the Midlands outfit lifting the European cup following their victory over Bayern Munich back in 1982

Needless to say, rival fans online ruthlessly took aim at Man City's chant directed at Villa.
One X user exclaimed: "Man City fans singing 'champions of Europe you’ll never sing that' to Aston Villa fans. Most clueless fan base in the country."
A second tweeted: "Man City fans currently chanting 'champions of Europe you’ll never sing that' to Aston Villa fans. Who’s gunna tell them."
A third added: "City fans singing 'Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that' at the side that sang it 41 years before them? I’ve missed something nuanced, haven’t I?"

A fourth said: "26th May 1982. Sorry Man City fans Villa have been champions of Europe. Football existed pre 2008."
Another commented: "Man City fans singing “champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that” to the fans of *checks notes* former champions of Europe Aston Villa."
But it appears Man City fans chanted the song as a joke as Villa supporters would chant it every time they played each other before the club's Champions League triumph last season.

Pep Guardiola's side are on the charge for back-to-back Champions League titles as they are among the favourites to go all the way this season.
