Sometimes football can get a bit silly.

On Tuesday night, Borussia Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw 8-4 in the highest-scoring Champions League game in history.

In the age of clubs live-tweeting matches, spare a thought for the person in charge of Dortmund's official Twitter feed. Their fingers must have disappeared in a haze of flames and smoke as they frantically typed out updates as 12 goals rained in at the Westfalenstadion.

At one point, there were seven goals in 22 first-half minutes - just think of the pain that person and their keyboard must have been going through.

Here's how the madness unfolded:

Kick-off: Hoping for a nice and steady 2-0 here.

10' - Dortmund 0-1 Legia. That's not in the script.

17': Dortmund 1-1 Legia. Shinji Kagawa to the rescue

18': Dortmund 2-1 Legia. Kagawa again! Just 76 seconds later.

20': Dortmund 3-1 Legia. This is getting out of hand.

24': Dortmund 3-2 Legia. Gary Neville would be having kittens over this defending.

29': Dortmund 4-2 Legia. 'Tor' is German for 'goal'. This is an absolute tor-fest.

32': Dortmund 5-2 Legia. Don't blink.

Half-time: Dortmund 5-2 Legia. Take a breather. The rest of the internet is showing you some love.

52': Dortmund 6-2 Legia. The second half managed to go a whole seven minutes without a goal.

57': Dortmund 6-3 Legia - Do you believe in miracles? The comeback is ON.

Please, please not another goal!

83': Dortmund 7-4 Legia. Mind blown. Soul destroyed.

90+2': Dortmund 8-4 Legia. Enough now. Mercifully, the final whistle comes.

FT: Dortmund 8-4 Legia - Go home Dortmund Twitter hero. Your work here is done.
