Barcelona reportedly want UEFA to take action against Paris Saint-Germain over a huge banner displayed by their fans at of the Champions League match between the two teams.
The Vanguardia paper and EFE news agency on Wednesday cited club officials as saying they plan to report the banner to the delegate from Europe's governing body who attended the match.
The tifo with the writing "Massacre à la parisienne" (Massacre the Parisian way) on Tuesday showed a masked man destroying the Barcelona badge with a chainsaw full of blood. It was reminiscent of the main character of the horror movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
In France, there was not much of a fuss.
"The Collectiv Ultras Paris was in a spooky mood on this Tuesday evening a few days before Halloween (on October 31)," broadcasters RMC said.
Sports paper L'Equipe said: "Luis Enrique’s side handed FC Barcelona their first defeat of the season (4–2), and although it wasn’t the ‘chainsaw massacre’ promised by the Auteuil Stand’s tifo, all there was to see there was football, nothing but football.”
The overall atmosphere was peaceful and fans enjoyed a top match in which PSG handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season from goals by Désiré Doué, Lucas Hernández, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.
"PSG showed that they are a better team than us,” Barça coach Hansi Flick said. “It was a brilliant match for the spectators and for anyone who loves football, featuring two teams who simply play beautiful football.”
