Following Barcelona's exit from the Champions League, there was significant dissatisfaction among fans directed towards the players of the Catalan club. The Blaugrana squandered a one-goal advantage, losing 1-4 to Paris Saint-Germain.

One of the players who faced immense pressure was Barcelona defender Joao Cancelo. He was accused of errors that led to two goals at the Olympic Stadium.

Speaking to ESPN, the Portuguese player revealed that he was harshly criticized and insulted. Notably, fans on social media not only insulted him but also his unborn daughter.

"In Instagram comments, there are wishes for the death of my daughter, who hasn't even been born yet. They wouldn't say this to my face. But in the comments, they write that they want it. They are insulting to my partner, my daughter, our future child.

This is a cruel world, and one must know how to live with it. I know how to do it, but I just don't know what to say. Wishing death upon a child is really serious. People don't think about the person behind the footballer they see on television. We are all human."

The issue of player abuse on social media has become increasingly relevant lately. While Cancelo may not have taken this information too closely, it's currently unknown how other Barcelona players reacted to it. Psychological pressure on players can significantly impact their performance against Real Madrid in the upcoming La Liga match.
