"Working on the farm" - Barcelona take swipe at Manchester United with photo of Lewandowski dressed like a farmer

In an unconventional attempt to mock Manchester United, Barcelona posted a strange image of Robert Lewandowski on Thursday dressed as a farmer.

Lewandowski's disputed penalty, which was awarded in the 18th minute, had given Barcelona a commanding early lead.

The Catalan club then published an intriguing image of the Poland international picking footballs out of trees, seemingly in a dig at the claim that Spain's top division is a "farmer's league.". It's hard to say, but it's possible that they were attempting to imply that Manchester United plays in a "farmer's league."

The joke was a risky one with so much time left in the game, but sure enough, just two minutes into the second half, Fred's second-half touch and strike brought the teams even, and Antony scored to give the home team a 4-3 victory overall.

On Sunday, Xavi's team travels to Almeria in La Liga, where a Real Madrid victory over Atletico Madrid the day before could reduce their La Liga lead.
