The descent into hell continues for Samuel umtiti on the side of FC Barcelona. World champion with the Blues of Didier Deschamps in 2018, the 28-year-old defender had left to become one of the very best players in the world at his post. Yes, but here it is, victim of repeated injuries since the coronation in Russia, the native of Yaoundé in Cameroon continues the difficult seasons on the side of Barcelona. More titular, he has hardly played for more than 3 years and anger is roaring among the Blaugrana supporters who do not understand the situation.
Today, a step has been taken in the disenchantment between the player and the club’s supporters. As he was quietly coming out of training in his sports car, Samuel Umtiti had the unpleasant surprise to see three men stand in his way. Waving in front of his vehicle, one of them even tried to climb on the hood. Losing patience, the athlete honked for a long time before accelerating to try to get them to go. He was finally able to extricate himself from this uncomfortable situation, but when we thought he was going to leave without making a fuss, the former accomplices of Raphaël Varane at the Blues stopped his car a few meters away.
He then got out of his vehicle to have an explanation with the few troublemakers. Trying to keep calm in front of the three individuals, Samuel Umtiti called out to them to explain his way of thinking: “Come on! Did you pay for the car? What are you playing at? Do you know what respect is?”. A scene which challenged in Spain where most of the sports media took again the scene to comment on it, deploring the attitude of these so-called supporters.
