Twitter tears into Barcelona’s #WeAreAllLeoMessi campaign
On Saturday, Barcelona called on their supporters to rally behind their superstar player Lionel Messi, who was sentenced to 21 months in prison on charges of tax evasion earlier this week. But, instead of support, the Twitteratti poked fun at the campaign, and here are the best of the Tweets.
It's time to show our support: #WeAreAllLeoMessi. Add your voice to the campaign 👐 https://t.co/ld9dyidoXO pic.twitter.com/mNnfeZxl17

Goal or own goal, Barcelona know how to score
How do you say "PR own goal" in Catalan?
