Portland Trail Blazers star trolls FC Barcelona for another UEFA Champions League debacle and hammering by Bayern Munich

Hart has been vocal about his love for international soccer, expressing his interest in past posts on social media. The young Blazers guard is also an avid fan of FC Barcelona, where Lionel Messi plays. Hart has expressed his admiration for the Argentinian soccer legend in past interviews.

FC Barcelona recently lost 3-0 to Bayern Munich. With the win, FC Barcelona has managed to come out on top in Group C.

With just one word, Hart trolled the team and expressed his disappointment. Knowing how much of a fan Hart is, his tweet is a summary of his emotions. This isn't the first time Hart has done this. Earlier this year, he went on to Twitter to call out the soccer club.

Back in 2019, Hart had a chance to visit Camp Nou, the home stadium of FC Barcelona. While in the stadium, the Portland Trail Blazers swingman had a chance to convey his admiration for Lionel Messi.

The undefeated Portland Trail Blazers (4-0) host the Miami Heat (1-3) on Wednesday night looking forward to keeping the winning streak alive.

Aside from the Portland Trail Blazers guard, which NBA stars support other soccer clubs?

The NBA is full of athletes who love to compete. The competitiveness extends past the hardcourt and onto the soccer field. Josh Hart isn't the only fan of the sport, and here are some of them.

Luka Doncic: Real Madrid FC

This should not come as a surprise. Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic played for the Real Madrid basketball club before getting drafted into the NBA. That's where he developed a ton of his on-court skills that made him into an MVP-caliber player.

As a young athlete who grew up in Real Madrid's system, it's a given that Doncic would support the soccer club.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: Arsenal FC

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a beloved player in the league today. But one fact that many tend to overlook about the Greek Freak is that he's also a soccer fan. Before the Milwaukee Bucks star started playing basketball, Antetokounmpo was rooting for Arsenal.

LeBron James: Liverpool

LeBron James might be the biggest player on this list. The LA Lakers star has expressed his love for other sports in the past. King James is a minority owner for Liverpool FC. Two years ago, James arrived at the Lakers' arena wearing a Liverpool jersey to show his support for the team.
