As the normal world celebrated Valentines day on February 14th, things were quite different on the other side of the world - the football side. Coincidentally, this year's Valentines was celebrated on the same day as the return of the UEFA Champions League last season.
And with football fans all over the world starving from lack of European football since late last year, it was understandable this this event had to blend into the football world. Here is a quick look at some of the best valentines-football related posts on social media.
It all started with this epic post on Borussia Dortmund's official Twitter account. And the response from Benfica, the club they face in the last 16 today, was epic!
