Barcelona were eliminated from the competition by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, despite having a 3-2 overall advantage from the first match and scoring an early goal in the second match. PSG emerged victorious with a 4-1 win after Ronald Araujo received a red card, securing a 6-4 aggregate victory and advancing to the semi-finals.
The loss triggered a furious response from Barcelona fans, and Cancelo has disclosed that he has been inundated with numerous “cruel” messages on social media. Many enraged followers have expressed their desire for harm to come to his family and pregnant kid.
CANCELLO’S STATEMENT
In an interview with ESPN, he stated, “People make various assertions.” Comments on Instagram are expressing wishes for the death of my unborn daughter. They refrain from expressing it directly to me in person, as it might lead to a conflict, but they freely express their thoughts in the comments. They are causing offense to my spouse, my daughter, and our unborn kid. The world can be harsh, and it is essential to learn how to navigate it. I possess the knowledge and ability to articulate my thoughts, however, I am now experiencing a lack of inspiration or ideas for what to express. Expressing a desire for the death of a newborn is an extremely grave matter. Individuals often overlook the individual who is responsible for the athletic performance they saw on television. We, too, are members of the human species. We are identical.
Cancelo aims to overcome the distress caused by the internet threats in order to contribute to Barcelona’s triumph against Real Madrid this weekend. The Clasico foes will face each other at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, with a difference of eight points between them.
