Barca players laugh off PSG ultras’ intimidation tactics ahead of UCL showdown

Barcelona’s Champions League quarter-final showdown with Paris Saint-Germain should be a cracking occasion. The first leg takes place at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening, and it should be a brilliant atmosphere.

Ahead of the game, during the Barcelona squad’s pre-match inspection of the pitch, PSG’s ultras – who were already in the stadium – attempted to intimidate them with chants of “p*** Barca”, although it seemed to do little to scare any of the players. Some were even shown laughing at the chants, including Ferran Torres.

Torres wasn’t the only one to find the situation humorous, as multiple youngsters were also seen laughing along. Despite Xavi Hernandez having a very young squad at his disposal, it does show that many of them do not have much fear on the football pitch.

Barcelona will hope that translates to the 90 minutes too, as they aim to secure a positive result for the second leg in Catalonia next week.
