    Cash-strapped Barcelona have set an astronomical clause in Pedri's contract, Bayer Leverkusen are the kings of Twitter, and red flags flood our timeline in today's Social Zone.

    SOCCER: Barcelona's friendly against third-tier Spanish side Cornella ended up in a draw. The sad reality is Ronald Koeman is probably just happy they didn't lose.

    SOCCER: In better news for Barca, Pedri has signed a new contract with a release clause of $1billion. It sounds like they could do with it if we're honest - any takers? Newcastle?

    SOCCER: Bayer Leverkusen's Twitter admin had some fun last night. Top stuff.

    SOCCER: Elsewhere, Argentinian soccer saw a furry pitch invader enter play. Surely that's got to be a yellow for time wasting ref?

    SOCCER: I haven't seen this many red flags since the latest 'Arteta Out' campaign.

    SOCCER: Didier Drogba running riot. Wearing blue. Against Arsene Wenger. Some things never change.
    TENNIS: Surely after that you just give Gael Monfils the point anyway...
    FORMULA ONE: Red Bull might regret this when they arrive at the Austin Grand Prix with a dodgy suspension, worn tyres and a surprise parking ticket.
