Tarik Muharemovic’s sarcastic Reply to social media post going viral after thunderous performance vs augsburg
Tarik Muharemovic’s sarcastic response to a social media post calling him the best centre-back in the Premier League has gone viral after the Leeds United defender produced a stunning display against FC Augsburg.
The 23-year-old Bosnian international was one of the standout performers as Leeds demolished Augsburg 4-0 at Elland Road in their final pre-season fixture. Muharemovic scored Leeds’ second goal in spectacular fashion, producing an overhead kick in the 19th minute to put Daniel Farke’s side firmly in control.
His performance immediately sparked huge praise from Leeds supporters online, with one fan even proclaiming him the best centre-back in the Premier League. Muharemovic’s response added to the entertainment, as his sarcastic reaction appeared to acknowledge the wild praise while poking fun at how quickly supporters had elevated him after one performance.
The reaction comes after an impressive rise for the defender. Leeds signed Muharemovic from Sassuolo for a reported £34 million this summer, making him the club’s most expensive defender. He arrived after starting 32 Serie A matches during the 2025/26 campaign and helping Sassuolo finish 11th.
His qualities were already attracting serious attention before joining Leeds. His former Bosnia Under-21 coach described him as a defender with composure, strong aerial ability, tactical intelligence and confidence in possession. Sky Sports also reported that he possesses the potential to become one of the finest left-footed centre-backs of his generation.
With the Premier League season beginning next weekend, Muharemovic now has another chance to turn the social media hype into sustained performances. For Leeds fans, his Augsburg display has certainly raised expectations.
