Premier League side AFC Bournemouth went viral on social media after securing European qualification for the first time in the club’s history. The club’s official account shared a celebratory post saying, “We’re all going on a European tour,” which quickly gained massive attention online.
The biggest response came from airline giant Ryanair, whose official account jokingly replied: “Our lawyers will be in touch.” The joke referenced a banner seen in Bournemouth’s celebration photo featuring the Ryanair logo and imagery associated with the airline. Ryanair famously brands itself as “Europe’s No.1 airline.”
The exchange rapidly went viral among football fans, adding even more excitement to Bournemouth’s historic achievement. After sealing a place in European competition for the first time ever, supporters have already started planning away trips across the continent.
