As you may well have heard, thousands of Alist celebrities, sportspeople and other notable figures have been forced to surrender their Twitter verified status this week after the “blue tick” mark was removed unless it’s paid for.

But while Real Madrid have paid top dollar to show their stars’ accounts are genuine, Barcelona have shunned the new payforatick scheme.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has revamped the site’s verified status, and those who are unwilling to pay his new 8amonth subscription fee will now have an account just like any regular user on the platform.
