Here is a preview of the Champions League fixtures, and the hilarious and informative football puns that the Mumbai Police Twitter handle posted.

Mumbai Police Twitter: Mumbai Police football tweet

Mumbai Police's Twitter handle has reaffirmed its position of posting excellent social media content by spreading awareness about Covid-19 safety by using footballing references this time. 

In their latest post, Mumbai Police has used references from the upcoming football games to highlight ways of keeping hygiene during the novel coronavirus pandemic. The first picture makes a reference to 'Real' Madrid's Eden 'Hazard' who is set to play against Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The Mumbai Police uses a hilarious pun to highlight the consequences of wearing the mask 'improperly.'

The second picture where the Mumbai Police uses Arsenal's reference is perhaps the most innovative and hilarious. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side were termed the 'Invincinbles' in the 2003/04 season since The Gunners did not lose a single game the entire season and were crowned Premier League champions.

With this context in mind, the Mumbai Police are informing Mumbaikars that they need to keep masks and sanitisers in their 'Arsenal' to remain 'Invincinble' against the coronavirus. The Mumbai Police football tweet has received a favourable response from people as the post has received over 210 retweets and 800 likes. This is not the first time the Mumbai Police has utilised such creative themes as during the entire Covid-19 pandemic several informative posts have been posted in similar fashion.
