The Match of the Day’s host’s famous ears may look a bit different soon.
Just as the second half of tonight’s Real Madrid/Bayern Munich game was about to start, Gary Lineker tweeted this.

This generated a lot of interest on Twitter, garnering thousands and thousands of retweets as neither side could find another goal.
Lineker retweeted some of the funnier tweets he received during the game
@AngusScott @GaryLineker Will be some procedure. I can see a hospital needing to close down for the day.

Now the big question is will Lineker follow through on his bet?
