Leslie Jones Discovered Soccer Over The Weekend And All The World Rejoiced

Comedian and hero of these troubled times Leslie Jones has delighted Twitter followers with her sports and pop culture commentary. Her live reactions to Game of Thrones earlier this year the stuff of legend. More recently, her shouty, earnest, unapologetically enthusiastic reactions to the Rio Olympics were so hilarious that NBC put her on a plane to Brazil.

This past weekend, the Saturday Night Live cast member got into soccer and It. Was. Glorious.

She started with a delayed viewing of Barcelona vs Manchester City in the Champions League.
