Camp Nou, which draws nearly 100,000 spectators, arrived on Thursday night with about 80,000 pairs of noses to watch the Europa League match between Barcelona and Frankfurt.
Of the spectators, 37,746 were Barcelona season ticket holders. 5,000 tickets were sold to Frankfurt fans. The remaining 34,440 tickets were sold outside Germany, but about 30,000 Frankfurt fans still marched on the stadium, and there was no information about Barcelona’s home front.
President of Barcelona Joan Laportan the situation was “embarrassing and shameful”.
German fans encouraged Frankfurt’s 3-2 victory in Barcelona, leading the team to the European League semi-finals 4-3 overall.
On Friday, FC Barcelona assured that only 5,000 tickets were sold to the Germans, but most of the 34,440 bulk tickets ended up through the intermediary to the Germans.
– We do not want this to happen again in Barcelona, Laporta said.
According to the man, the club will change the ticket rules so that FC Barcelona’s European tickets can no longer be distributed.
– The club does not blame people for breaking the rules, but we will do our best not to repeat it, Laporta said.
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandezin According to the team, the loss of home advantage was seen on the field when the team’s 15-loss losing streak broke.
– I tried to tell the players that the most important thing is what happens on the field, but logically this affected us. That’s pretty clear, Xavi regretted.
According to the club legend, the public cannot be blamed for the loss. That would be an excuse.
