Pep Guardiola makes one Manchester City supporter’s day, Mohamed Salah is caught sleeping en route to Liverpool’s training camp, and a Welsh team’s achievement highlights how far Manchester United have fallen – all in Social Shots.
In our new regular feature, we take a look at the best social media posts from across the world of football in the past 24 hours. Football and social media can go hand in hand, but not everyone gets it right. Here, we celebrate those that do, highlighting the posts that have made us chuckle, the videos of wonder goals that we’ve just had to watch again, or just anything we felt simply had to be shared….

Kompany’s clothes
Departing captain Vincent Kompany was sporting a great t-shirt for the trophy parade, in memory of Sergio Aguero’s reaction to his wonder goal against Leicester.
Taxi for Pep
After last night’s trophy parade, Pep Guardiola cadged a lift home with this delighted supporter.
Top day at the parade. Not every day pep asks ya for a lift home

Footy flat cap
Coincidentally, if you were wondering about Pep’s choice of headgear, it was a tribute to City’s life president, who died earlier this year.
Pep Guardiola was wearing a flat cap given to him by Bernard Halford’s wife during the title parade last night

Which other Premier League managers could you imagine wearing a flat cap?

Leipzig legacy
The only non-Leipzig player in the back four of WhoScored’s Bundesliga team of the season is… former Leipzig player Joshua Kimmich.
You can take the Kimmich out of Leipzig, but you can't take the Leipzig out of Kimmich. https://t.co/Ly1ME6kPLm

Uni-EFA Europa League
Fair play to Cardiff Met Uni’s football team, who have qualified for next season’s Europa League preliminary round. If they manage to win five games in the competition, they could end up facing Manchester United
Cardiff Met Uni qualify for the Europe League, all of their players are students
Mental imagine if they beat Man United next season!

On this day…
It’s 11 years since the last all-English Champions League final, where Manchester United beat Chelsea on a penalty shootout – including shocking misses from Cristiano Ronaldo and John Terry.
Ronaldo's miss
Van der Sar's save
Terry's tears
It has been 11-years since the last all-English Champions League final…
It was a classic
