Just few days after the account of Barcelona was hacked by OurMine hackers, which announced that Angel Di Maria of Paris St Germain had joined Barcelona club as hoax, the hackers group got active again, however this time focusing on Real Madrid's, Winners of Champions League, account.

The Catalan side has confirmed later that their account was hacked, and Real Madrid also become victim on Sat. as time approaches 07:00 in Spanish capital, with one tweet as well as Facebook post reading "Welcome Messi" as posted by goal.com August 26th, 2017.
