(Watch Video) Barcelona fans set off fireworks outside PSG hotel to prevent players from sleeping ahead of Champions League clash

Barcelona fans are setting off fireworks outside PSG’s team hotel, in an attempt to prevent the French side’s stars from sleeping.

The relationship between the two sides has been strained at best, since Barcelona’s stunning 6-1 Champions League victory over the Parisians, followed by the subsequent £200million Neymar deal.

With PSG in town, The Sun reports, the LaLiga side’s fans wanted to cause some disruption.

But things have reached breaking point this season, given PSG’s very public pursuit of Lionel Messi.

Speculation over the Argentine’s future has loomed large over Barcelona’s season.

But with PSG in town, their fans wanted to cause some disruption of their own.

In video footage captured by El Chiringuito, large cracks can be heard reverberating through the Catalonia sky, just by where PSG happen to be staying.

This follows the less than hospitable welcome that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi received upon his arrival earlier today.

In more footage, fans can be heard shouting: “Son of a b***h! Thief! Let go of Messi, thief!”

PSG have not been shy of expressing their interest in the six-time Ballon d’Or winner, with Mauricio Pochettino, Neymar and Angel Di Maria having all made admiring noises – while France Football mocked up a front page image of Messi in a PSG shirt.

This led to Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman furiously criticising the ‘disrespectful’ French giants.
