If last Wednesday, the FC Barcelona hot air balloon flew over Paris and the Mona Lisa wore a jersey in the colors of the Catalan club, this is no longer the case since PSG's victory this Tuesday. Winners on the field of Barcelona (4-1), the PSG players qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since the 2020-2021 season and its defeat against Manchester City.
In addition to its sporting victory, the capital club won the “battle” of the networks. PSG responded to FC Barcelona's attack by publishing several posts on X. The first shows Barça's hot air balloon sinking into the Seine, all under the watchful gaze of the Eiffel Tower.
The second is located at the Louvre where Marquinhos steals the show from the Mona Lisa “made in Barcelona”. The Parisian captain is highlighted on a painting entitled: “the battle of Montjuic, Barcelona 2024”.
From a place in the semi-final to a battle of the networks, including its coach Xavi, excluded, the Catalan club will have decidedly lost everything this Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
