Barcelona have complained about PSG's 'chainsaw massacre' banner

Barcelona have made a complaint to UEFA over a 'chainsaw massacre' banner displayed during Tuesday night’s Champions League match against Paris St Germain.

The banner carried the slogan ‘Massacre, Parisien style’ and depicted a masked man in a PSG shirt cutting through a Barcelona crest with a chainsaw, with pyrotechnics giving the effect of sparks flying as the saw made contact.

Sources close to the Catalan club said the content of the banner, and some offensive chants from the stands, were reported to UEFA’s match delegate.

UEFA declined to comment.

Barcelona twice came back from a goal down to level the game at 2-2 with 11 minutes left, but the back-to-back [European champions sealed a 4-2 win](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2026/1020/1596144-psg-outgun-barcelona-in-pulsating-showdown/) with goals from Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.
