Joel Embiid is a big Real Madrid fan, so he of course had to rub it in Dirk Nowitzki's face after the team's controversial 4-2 win over Germany's Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The Philadelphia 76ers center got the trash talk started with this tweet:
@swish41 HALA MADRID!!!! Goal Goal Goal 😎

And then reminded Nowitzki to trust the process.
Keep processing this loss @swish41 #HalaMadrid

Nowitzki eventually responded, voicing his displeasure with the officiating.
@JoelEmbiid Ha. Congrats to the ref

Embiid feels otherwise.
