Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels loves a good crack on social media, and his latest bit of banter may be his best yet.

The former Borussia Dortmund man was subject to a Tweet from a fan yesterday in relation to Bayern being thrashed 4-0 by AC Milan in the Asian leg of the International Champions Cup.

Big-spending Milan looked seriously impressive against the Bundesliga champions, with summer signings Franck Kessie and Hakan Calhanoglu getting their first goals for the club, as well as youngster Patrick Cutrone transferring his impressive form at youth level to the first team by scoring a brace.

Bayern, who didn't play an understrength side in all fairness, struggled and the knee-jerk concerns were raised going into the season.

But, as is the case in pre-season, it's difficult to look into things too much, as mere days later, the Bavarians ran out 3-2 winners against Chelsea in Singapore.

And Hummels felt the need to reply to the fan yesterday. In a Tweet that has garnered nearly 5,000 Retweets, he spoke of impressed he was with how Milan played at Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre but also aimed a little dig over the seven-time European Cup/Champions League winners not being in the Champions League next season.

That really riled up the Rossoneri faithful, who responded by reminding Hummels of Milan's storied history in Europe, and Filippo Inzaghi's goalscoring heroics against Bayern back in the day, as well as tweeting him videos of their player Giacomo Bonaventura tearing him a new one in the recent match-up:

We really, really, want to see AC Milan vs Bayern in the Champions League even more now.
