There seems to be a little beef between the social media departments of Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund, which is now entering the next round. At the center of it is BVB captain Emre Can, who caused quite a stir yesterday. 

After Union Berlin edited Emre Can out of Dortmund's victory photo, BVB posted a picture of Emre Can's bloodstained sock.

This post was about the previous one: 

During the game, tensions were noticeably high against Emre Can. After a foul on Ilic, a scuffle broke out because Can refused to release the ball and pushed Jannik Haberer to the ground. Niko Kovač substituted his captain in the 69th minute as a result. 

On his way to the bench, there were reportedly insults from Union fans directed at Can. 

Both the fans and Can, as well as the two social media departments, are unlikely to become friends this season.
