Cancelo threatened for penalty foul against PSG: «They wished my daughter death»

Joao Cancelo, Barcelona midfielder, was interviewed by “Espn” where he spoke about the social abuse and threats that he and his family received after the Blaugrana’s exit from the Champions League. The “fans” are angry with him for the foul that caused the penalty kick against PSG.

«People say everything. There are comments on Instagram wishing death on my unborn daughter. They wouldn’t say it to my face, because we would have problems, but in the comments they write what they want», said the Barcelona midfielder.

Cancelo: «People don’t think about the person behind the footballer»

«They are abusive to my wife, to my daughter, to our unborn child. It’s a cruel world and you have to know how to live with it. I know how to do it, but I don’t know what to say anymore“, has continued.

Cancelo concludes his outburst thus:

«Wishing a child dead is a very serious thing. People don’t think about the person behind the footballer they see on television. We too are human beings. We are equal».

The outburst against City for “A Bola”

Cancelo, a Barcelona player on loan from Manchester City, gave an interview to the Portuguese newspaper “In Bola“, where he responded to Guardiola’s words and talked about his experience at City.

Let’s go back about two years, to the moment you signed the contract renewal with Manchester City until 2027. Did you ever think that you would subsequently go out on loan?

«No, I didn’t imagine it, but I live my way at the moment. A few things meant that I was loaned out to Bayern Munich last year. I have no regrets, even if City won the Champions League. I feel like I made the right choice, that I went to a club that really wanted me, even before renewing my contract. It was a club that gave me a lot in the six months I was there. I have dealt with great players and the club is spectacular. Then I came here (Barcelona), causing my salary to be lowered and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest».

How did you react to Guardiola’s public criticism, according to him you weren’t happy that your teammates, Rico Lewis and Nathan Aké, were playing?

«They are lies! I have never been a bad companion for them and you can ask Aké or Rico. I don’t have any superiority or inferiority complex towards them, but this is the coach’s opinion…».
