According to The Sun, the sign was reportedly held by a group of supporters from Paris Saint-Germain.

Even so, the man is not expected to take part in the upcoming Wednesday game as he has a knee injury.

This isn’t even the first time Shakira has been targeted by sports fans for her longstanding dedication to the soccer player.

It also happened in 2012 when a naked explosive dummy with ‘Shakira’ on its back was carried around after Real Madrid won the Spanish championship.

Similar banners as this year were also seen at a game in 2016.

As mentioned earlier, fans weren’t happy and stood up for them on social media.
