Barcelona were left red faced on Saturday afternoon when their social media was hacked for the second time. The Spanish giants were in action on Saturday, with Lionel Messi and co beating Getafe 2-1 in La Liga.

The Spanish giants posted a match report and injury news on their official Twitter account after the win.

However, then came a bizarre message.

"Hi, we are OurMine. Well we read some private messages and it look like Neymar will back here"

Then it comes up with:

“Hi, we are OurMine. Well, this is the second time, the security level is better but still not the best.

“To improve your accounts security contact us: Contact@ourmine.org.

“For security services visit ourmine.org.”

On Barcelona's official Catalan version twitter, the hackers even posted a poster of the announcement of Neymar's transfer.

In Arabic version they also trolled Barcelona's president Bartomeu with a tag of 'bartumeoout'

The hacker group OurMine is believed to have done the same thing in 2017.

They posted on the Catalan team's page 'Welcome Angel Di Maria to FC Barcelona! #DiMariaFCB' before it had been announced.

The tweet kept disappearing and reappearing on their timeline over an hour period as the club tried to regain control of their account from the hackers.

Someone believed to be a spokesman for OurMine preivously described it as a Saudi account that promotes its own cybersecurity services.

They added that its intentions are to 'show people that everything is hackable'.
