FC Barcelona have been subjected to ridicule on social media following their 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League.

The match, played at the Parc des Princes on October 20, 2026, produced an end-to-end contest with six goals, as the home side emerged victorious.

Désiré Doué, Lucas Hernández, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz were on the scoresheet for the defending champions, while goals from Espart and Lamine Yamal were not enough to rescue the Catalan side.

The defeat ended Barcelona’s unbeaten run since the start of the season, while PSG strengthened their credentials as one of the world’s top teams with a commanding performance.

The result sparked strong reactions on social media, with fans of rival clubs mocking Barcelona supporters for expressing confidence in their team’s ability to beat the French side before the match.

Others targeted Barcelona’s star player, Lamine Yamal, who, despite scoring, was criticised for his limited influence on other aspects of the game.

Some fans accused him of going missing in high-profile matches while performing better against less formidable opponents.

Critics also questioned Barcelona’s defensive strength, arguing that the team lacks the solidity required to compete with Europe’s elite for major honours.

They believe head coach Hansi Flick must address the defensive weaknesses to prevent the club’s Champions League ambitions from suffering another setback.
