Joao Cancelo reveals vile abuse he received after Barcelona’s defeat to PSG

Barcelona defender Joao Cancelo has revealed the vile abuse he has received in the wake of the team’s Champions League defeat to PSG.

Xavi’s side exited the tournament at the quarter-final stage, with Cancelo receiving criticism after conceding a penalty for a challenge on Ousmane Dembele.

The Manchester City loanee says after the game he received all sorts of vile messages and how he’s been shocked by what people have said.

“People say all sorts. There are comments on Instagram wishing death upon my daughter who’s not even been born yet. They would not say it to me face, because we would have a problem, but in the comments they write what they want,” he told ESPN.
