Barcelona’s Twitter gets hacked, teases Neymar return
The club’s social media made for interesting reading on Saturday...
Barcelona’s Twitter accounts were hacked on Saturday night after their 2-1 win over Getafe with a post saying Neymar would come back to the club.
Several of the club’s social media accounts were hit with the hackers having a bit of fun about the Brazilian who has been linked with a Camp Nou return.
One post read: “Well, we read some private messages and it looks like Neymar will be back here” and another had a picture of the Brazilian in Barca’s home kit along with some question marks.

There was another post calling for president Josep Maria Bartomeu’s resignation, with the the OurMine group taking responsibility. They wrote: “Hi, we are OurMine. Well, this is the second time, the security level is still not the best.”
Barcelona confirmed later that they had been hacked:
FC Barcelona's Twitter accounts have been hacked, which is why messages from outside our club have appeared, and which have been reported and deleted. The tweets were made through a third-party tool for data analytics.
