Barcelona have enjoyed a good reputation over the years when it comes to fair dealings with clubs and players in the transfer market. But a couple of their recent activities in the transfer market has harmed that reputation and one of them is the signing of Brazilian winger, Malcom.

The attacker was on his way to sign for AS Roma, with the Serie A giants having initially announced his imminent arrival before Barcelona came in at the dying moments to hijack the deal and lured the attacker to the Nou Camp instead.

With thousands of fans already waiting to welcome the player to the Stadio Olimpico, it came as a huge embarrassment to the Romans who held nothing back in slamming the attitude. Although Barcelona eventually apologized for their action, many remained shocked and provoked.
