In view of the great anger in Spain about tens of thousands of Frankfurt fans in the Camp Nou when FC Barcelona lost 3-2, the club only wants to sell personalized tickets for international games. This was announced by club president Joan Laporta on the Catalan TV station TV3.
The night before, around 30,000 German fans at Camp Nou cheered for Eintracht, although FC Barcelona said it had only sold 5,000 tickets to Germans. The other tickets should come from resales or travel agencies, Spanish media wrote. You spoke of an “invasion” of German fans.
Laporta previously apologized to the team and Barça fans. “I am ashamed and apologize. This will never happen again. We have information about what happened. It is outrageous and shameful. We will act and explain it,” Spanish media quoted him as saying.
In view of the surprisingly strong German fan presence, some Barça supporters even left their seats for ten minutes during the game in protest. Others complained that Germans had been drinking beer and smoking inside the stadium, which is illegal. The fan groups were also not separated from each other as required.
