Just hours after signing him, FC Barcelona announced on Monday that they have terminated the contract of Sergi Guardiola due to a series of offensive tweets he sent in 2013.

In a statement, the club said Guardiola “had published offensive tweets about the club and Catalonia.”

Below, via Twitter user Foro_MDM, are the tweets he sent, before he made his account private. They’ve been edited for language.

Both were messages sent in strong support for Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old recently left Alcorcon, and was offered a contract from Barcelona B, which he accepted.

The deal was announced on the team’s website, and posted on Twitter:
