Barça Reports PSG to UEFA for 'Overly Aggressive' Chainsaw Tifo

Barcelona has reported Paris Saint-Germain to UEFA following a Champions League match featuring a banner that depicted a masked figure destroying the Barça crest.

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Barcelona 4-2 at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday, securing their third consecutive Champions League victory this season. Desiré Douré, Lucas Hernández, Vitinha, and Fabián Ruiz each scored for the French side. Barcelona twice equalized through goals from Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal, but the result ultimately ended the Spanish club's 11-game winning streak and handed them their first loss of the campaign.

Following the match, a source told ESPN that Barcelona reported PSG to UEFA due to a tifo displayed by supporters behind one goal before kickoff. The giant banner featured a masked figure using a chainsaw to destroy the Barça crest, accompanied by the text "Massacre, Parisian style." Fans utilized pyrotechnics to simulate sparks emanating from the chainsaw as it cut through the badge. The source described the imagery as both offensive and overly aggressive.

PSG now prepares for a top-of-the-table Ligue 1 fixture against Lyon this weekend. Barcelona returns to domestic play to host Real Madrid in the Clásico.
