Things appear going awry for FC Barcelona as their internal troubles seem to have been complicated with the hacking of their twitter account.
FC Barcelona’s Twitter was hacked in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with the club “announcing” the signing of Angel Di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain.
It had been a trying 24 hours for the Blaugrana, as on Tuesday the club announced they were taking legal action against Neymar after alleging the Brazilian failed to fulfill his agreement with the team.
And things only got worse later as the club’s official Twitter account sent out a tweet saying, “Welcome Angel Di Maria to FC Barcelona!
Over the course of the next hour, the tweets would disappear and reappear on Barcelona’s timeline, as a back-and-forth battle between the hackers and the club ensued.
Credit for the hack was claimed by OurMine, a Saudi Arabian group who have also hacked the Facebook account of CNN, and Twitter accounts of Netflix, Marvel and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg among many others.
