Barcelona regrets "the misunderstandings that the situation may have caused"

A photomontage of the Paris Saint-Germain star wearing the Spanish club jersey had time to circulate, and to be widely shared. "Hello, we are OurMine. This is the second time, the level of computer security has improved, but is still not the best, assured the hacker group in a message now deleted. To improve the security of your accounts, contact us. "

The 28-year-old Brazilian had worn the colors of Barcelona between 2013 and 2017. Barça, for his part, made excuses in several explanatory tweets, regretting in the evening "the misunderstandings that the situation may have caused".

The Brazilian's return to Barcelona punctuated the last summer transfer window. PSG had officially opened the door for the star, but the Catalan club has shown itself unable to transmit an offer that meets Leonardo's expectations. Professional, Neymar has put this episode aside and, as he had promised, is fully involved in Paris this season. He will be, with Mbappé, the number one asset of the champions of France on Tuesday in Dortmund in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

FC Barcelona's Twitter accounts were hacked and that is why messages unrelated to our Club were published. They have been deleted and reported. The publications were made from a tool intended for data analysis
