Samuel Umtiti confronts Barcelona fans who blocked and mobbed his car

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti confronted a group of fans after they mobbed his car in the city on Wednesday.

A small group of Barca fans blocked the player's car on the road as one climbed on top of the bonnet while Umtiti was still behind the wheel.

Video footage shows Umtiti continually pumping the horn of his vehicle in an attempt to make the group disperse, but there was no immediate movement - as the fans laughed and shouted the player's name.

The defender then revved his car engine and made short moves forward in an attempt to make the group disperse, before briefly accelerating away.

Umtiti then sped forward 20 metres before stopping his car and coming out to return and confront those who had harassed him.

One of the fans present immediately asked the Barca player to be in a photograph with him, to which Umtiti obliged - before he then began to confront others within the group.

Umtiti is then shown going to confront individual who had climbed on top of his car bonnet and to address him directly: "Do you know what respect is?

"Do you know what it means? Do you know the word respect?

"Come here, will you pay for the car?"

Umtiti was visibly furious during the incident, and he was then accosted back to his car immediately afterwards by the same group - who did not appear to show any remorse for their actions.

After returning to his car and closing the door, two fans still attempt to speak to the defender despite him refusing to roll down his car window and engage any further with them.

El Chiringuito presenter Josep Pederol - who claimed international recognition this year for his show's dramatised method of reporting - adapted a serious tone for the coverage, before condemning the actions of the group who harassed the player.

Pederol stares down the camera in the studio before saying: "Funny, funny...You can like him or not like him, think that he plays well or plays badly...but you cannot do this."

It is not the first time the player has been harassed and had his car damaged by a group of individuals.

Last month, a video went viral which showed two unidentifiable individuals approach Umtiti's vacated parked car to remove the wheel caps.

The video was uploaded by someone with no connection to the incident and he posted the message, whilst tagging Barcelona, saying: "I leave this here so that you can take action once and for all."

In October, Ronald Koeman's car was mobbed by furious Barca fans after the club's defeat against Real Madrid in El Clasico.

Koeman - who would be sacked days later after a defeat against Rayo Vallecano - was with his wife in the car at the time, with the incident raising questions about the club's security procedure around its Camp Nou stadium.

Umtiti has suffered with multiple injury issues in recent seasons and has become a peripheral figure in Barca's squad.
