The battle of social networks. Before that of the football field. Wednesday evening, 21 p.m., Paris-Saint Germain hosts FC Barcelona in the quarter-final first leg of the prestigious Champions League. But before this first round between the two teams, a fight is already taking place on social networks.

Which club will be the most daring? The most creative? But be careful not to be too confident either. Outsider of the bookmakers for this meeting at the Parc des Princes, the Catalans are going strong on their various social networks. What to scare Kylian Mbappé and his teammates?

It was first the Mona Lisa, dressed in a Barça jersey, who attracted the attention of supporters of both camps. Be careful, Catalan arrogance could be punished…

Then new presumptuous act: a blaugrana-colored hot air balloon rising in front of the Eiffel Tower. It was enough to annoy the Parisian supporters... who asked their players to respond on the pitch on Wednesday.

Tension rises between the two clubs and their supporters while FC Barcelona will remain for a long time the club that humiliated PSG, with this comeback (6-1), one evening in March 2017.

Don't worry, Mona Lisa didn't really wear an FCB jersey, the Louvre museum was not vandalized. It is the work of a creation via artificial intelligence (AI)…

On the other hand, these are real stickers, stickers in the colors of the Catalan club, which are currently flourishing in the capital. 24 hours before the duel, the tone is set. This promises to be particularly thrilling.
