On Wednesday night, during Barcelona’s Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes, video footage was posted online that appeared to show two supporters committing heinous acts.
The images show one Barcelona fan throwing up a Nazi salute, while another is seen aiming a monkey gesture in the direction of the home supporters.

French police were quickly made aware of this video, and have acted decisively to catch those responsible. As reported by media outlets in France (covered by Diario AS), two Barcelona supporters have been arrested in relations to the events that took place during this video. The two fans in question have been accused of “apology for war crimes, and public insult of a racist nature”.
Police presence was already high in Paris because of the possible threat of terrorist actions by Islamic State, and these Barcelona fans have now been detained for the time being. No comment has been made yet by either club.
Ban them for life.
Agreed unfortunately you will always get 1 or 2 idiots out there who will not only embarrass and let the club down but also sadly give the rest of the clubs fanbase a bad name based on their own individual actions.
But you are an illiterate racist yourself, illiterate racist idiot.
