Unraveled: PSG's Hate For Barcelona

Unraveled: PSG's Hate For Barcelona

Paris Saint-Germain may have got into Barcelona's bad books for prising Neymar away from them, but it seems that the feeling is mutual, and they, too, seem to hold some hostility towards the Catalans. Have you seen some recent examples of how the French giants have shown their dislike for Barca?

The history of the two club's displeasure for each other may stem from their Round of 16 fixtures in last season's UEFA Champions League, where Barcelona progressed under controversial circumstances.

Unai Emery's side claimed a 4-0 win in the first leg of the Last 16 back in February, but the return fixture at the Camp Nou was marred with controversy, which saw Barca overturn the deficit and claim a 6-1 victory.

Since those matches, it seems the French side have developed a bit of a grudge towards the Catalans, and it may have increased even more when trying to deal with Barcelona over the signature of Neymar.

The deal was delayed a few times, with La Liga even refusing to allow the sale to take place…

PSG seemingly decided to take revenge when they started trolling Barcelona on Twitter with Neymar tweets during their Spanish Super Cup defeat.

The Spanish giants have since announced that they will be suing the Brazilian for a breach of contract, and for a figure of €8.5 million (about R132 million). It seems a petty sum of money, considering Barca have just received a €222 million (R3.4 billion) payout.

PSG have since responded to this news by slating Catalan club's management, claiming they "regret the attitude of Barcelona". They have also gone one step further, and it has been confirmed that PSG have decided to bid for the services of Jean Michael Seri of Nice just to upset Ernest Valverde's side.

Barcelona have reportedly offered to pay the €40 million (R622 million, the sum of the player's release clause) for the Nice star, and PSG are now doing their utmost to ruin the deal. Money clearly doesn't seem to a problem in France…

Who knows, perhaps they could bid for Philippe Coutinho or Ousmane Dembele next…

Do you think PSG are being petty in their hatred for Barcelona?
