Joao Cancelo reveals he has received some horrible messages on social media after the big loss, which included death threats aimed at his daughter.
"People say all sorts," Cancelo told ESPN.
"There are comments on Instagram wishing death upon my daughter who's not even been born yet. They would not say it to me face, because we would have a problem, but in the comments they write what they want.
"They're offensive to my partner, my daughter, our unborn baby. It's a cruel world and you have to know how to live with it. I know how to, but I just don't know what to say anymore.
"Wishing death upon a baby is really serious. People don't think about the person behind the footballer they see on the television. We are humans, too. We are just the same."
Cancelo will be hoping to bounce back on Sunday night when Barcelona take on arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
