PSG fan kills friend over mockery

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) suffered a humiliating 6-1 loss to Barcelona, making a dramatic exit from the Champions League in the last 16

The 18-year-old stabbed his friend in the neck after watching the match late Wednesday in Libreville, the judicial source told AFP, confirming a front-page report in the daily L'Union.

The young man, visibly intoxicated, could not take it when his friend kept teasing him over PSG's humiliating 6-1 loss to Barcelona, which they had watched while drinking in a working-class district of the capital, L'Union reported.

Asked by AFP, a judicial source confirmed that the mockery was at the root of the killing.

The victim died on the spot. His alleged attacker was arrested and admitted what he had done, but said he had not intended to murder his friend.
