The Catalan club saw their social media account taken over early Wednesday, with a false signing announced on Twitter.
FC Barcelona's Twitter was hacked in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with the club "announcing" the signing of Angel Di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain.
It had been a trying 24 hours for the Calalans, as earlier in the day the club announced they were suing Neymar after alleging the Brazilian failed to fulfill his agreement with the team.
And things only got worse later as the club sent out a tweet saying "Welcome Angel Di Maria to FC Barcelona!"
Credit for the hack was claimed by OurMine, a Saudi Arabian group who have also hacked accounts belonging to founders of Twitter, Wikipedia and Facebook among others.
