Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti responded to fans jeering him last night.
Umtiti was whistled by home fans during victory over Joan Gamper Trophy opponents Juventus. Many of the Barca support blame Umtiti for Lionel Messi's departure.

Umtiti chose to go directly to the dressing room at the final whistle rather than stay for the trophy presentation - which further angered fans.
He later posted to social media: "Sometimes it is better not to say anything and that silence takes care of things."
Barca has struggled to find a buyer for Umtiti this summer, which affected the club's ability to fit Messi inside their wage cap.
