The players and staff from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona made the decision to boycott post-match media duties with Spanish broadcaster Movistar. This decision came after a racist joke about 16-year-old Barca star Lamine Yamal was made live on air during a pre-match feature.

The footage showed Yamal juggling the ball in the warm-up, and one pundit praised his skill before another pundit, the former Atletico Madrid and Argentina goalkeeper German ‘Mono’ Burgos, made a comment suggesting that Yamal would be poor if it weren’t for football, which prompted laughter from the other studio guests. As a result of this incident, PSG and Barça notified Movistar that they were not going to attend to them due to their anger with the comment that was made on their set.

Despite the boycott, players and staff from both clubs did speak to other media after the game. Barcelona boss Xavi praised his side’s win in the game, which was secured by a header from Andreas Christensen.

Xavi expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance, highlighting their defensive and attacking capabilities, and acknowledging the tough game ahead in Barcelona.
