Manchester City centre-back Aymeric Laporte took to social media to poke fun at Elon Musk after Twitter removed blue ticks from non-subscribing accounts.
On Thursday, the blue check marks - which were established to help avoid misinformation and impersonation - were taken off accounts which had not subscribed to 'Twitter Blue'. Mr Musk has come under intense scrutiny for the decision, with the blue check mark now only available to users who pay $8 a month to Twitter.
Like millions of other people, City ace Laporte was impacted by the chance. The Spain international had a blue tick prior to the change, and he was quick to joke about its removal.
