Barcelona's Twitter accounts hacked, tease Neymar arrival and call for Josep Maria Bartomeu exit

Barcelona's Twitter account was targeted by hackers on Saturday evening.

All was normal as the Catalan club posted a match report and some injury news on their social media channels following their 2-1 win at home to Getafe, but some strange posts appeared later on.

"Hi, we are OurMine. Well we read some private messages and it look like Neymar will back here," a first post read.

Not long after that, a second appeared. “Hi, we are OurMine. Well, this is the second time, the security level is better but still not the best," it read.

FC Barcelona's Twitter accounts have been hacked, which is why messages from outside our club have appeared, and which have been reported and deleted. The tweets were made through a third-party tool for data analytics.

And it added: “To improve your accounts security contact us: Contact@ourmine.org."

On the Catalan language account, a picture of Neymar in a Barcelona shirt was even posted, while the Arab version featured a #bartumeoout (sic) hashtag in reference to president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

Barca later confirmed that their accounts had been hacked, apologised for the inconvenience and promised a full investigation.
