FC Barcelona Refuses Interviews After Racist Comment

FC Barcelona‘s post-match interviews were declined with Movistar after their 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, following controversial comments made during the pre-match warm-up coverage.

Manchester City has reportedly offered unwanted players to FC Barcelona, including Kalvin Phillips, Matheus Nunes, Kyle Walker, and Sergio Gomez, as potential transfer options.

Among these, Kalvin Phillips, unable to secure a starting spot at City, could reignite Barca’s past interest, while Kyle Walker might serve as backup to Joao Cancelo at right back.

Sergio Gomez, a lesser-known player, can play across multiple positions and sits on City’s unwanted list, offering Barca versatility.

FC Barcelona’s focus remains on potential transfers for Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, alongside a pursuit of Bernardo Silva, hampered by financial constraints.

During the Champions League quarterfinal clash at Parc des Princes, FC Barcelona and PSG withheld post-match interviews from Movistar, in response to a racist comment made during the broadcast.

During a segment featuring Lamine Yamal‘s warm-up skills, a racially insensitive remark by the Movistar team led to the boycott, with the broadcaster issuing a public apology for the offense caused.

Notably, Barcelona and PSG players and staff refrained from engaging with Movistar following the incident, displaying solidarity against discriminatory behavior in sports media.
