‘Die Neymar’

Sick Barcelona fans wish death on £198million man Neymar after his PSG move… in friendly tribute game against horror plane crash victims Chapecoense

SICK Barcelona fans wished death on Neymar after his £198million move to Paris Saint-Germain... in the friendly against horror plane crash victims Chapecoense.

Supporters of the La Liga giants timed their abuse incredibly poorly during the emotional clash at the Nou Camp on Monday.

Barcelona ran out 5-0 winners thanks to goals from Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Gerard Deulofeu and Denis Suarez.

But the game will forever be remembered as the time survivors Jakson Follman, Neto and Alan Ruschel made an emotional return to the pitch.

Ruschel played the opening 35 minutes of the game, while the others watched on in Spain.

However, the fixture was marred by the actions of a select few Barcelona fans.

Following Neymar's switch to Paris, a less-than amicable transfer, a small section of supporters opted to chant, "Neymar muerete", which translates to "Die Neymar".

Given the context of the game - a tribute game for the 71 people who lost their lives in the Colombia plane crash of 2016 - the song was wildly inappropriate.

19 of the 71 who tragically passed away were staff or players of the Brazilian club.

During the game itself, Deulofeu scored the opener after six minutes after rounding off a good team move.

Busquets then fired a great strike into the top corner from outside the box five minutes later.

Messi then added a third on the half-hour mark after clinically finishing from close range, before ex-Liverpool star Suarez added a fourth ten minutes after the restart.

Barca youngster and other Suarez - Denis - then rounded off the victory with a goal in the 74th minute.

Barcelona's next match is at home to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
