The Barça team has lost three times in the quarterfinals with the return at home in the last 11 editions of the tournament
The Palau must be the place for great occasions This Thursday at 8:45 p.m. in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League against the Danish GOG despite the fact that the 30-37 that Carlos Ortega’s men achieved in the first leg may invite part of Barcelona to consider taking the afternoon off.
With some 3,000 tickets sold at the end of Wednesday, the club asks the fans to make a little more effort to attend what will also be the European farewell at the Palau as a Barça player for Ludovic Fàbregas, who will play next season for the Hungarian Telekom Veszprém.
Tickets will remain on sale throughout today until the start of the match through the club’s website with prices ranging from 12 euros at the bottom with reduced visibility to 31 in the grandstand. The rest of the seats are available at 19, 23 and 27 euros. Before the game they can also be purchased at the box office.
Also, between the news on Wednesday in Manchester and on the eve of the semifinals of the EuroLeague Final Four with a new classic this Friday… What could be better than living a party at the Palau?
There is also three precedents that invite to take very seriously the visit of the current Danish runner-upwhich by the way will not be able to count on one of its great stars, the Danish world champion Simon Pytlick suffering from problems in his left knee.

The first features another Danish team, AG Kobenhavn. One year after his hasty departure from Barça by personal decision, Michael Hansen He hammered Xavi Pascual’s Barça in the first leg in the 2011-12 Champions League (29-23) and the azulgranas could only win in the second leg by an insufficient 36-33 with eight goals from a Sigurdsson who years later would wear as a blaugrana.
The second featured one of the players who has given Barça the most problems in the last decade, the Danish goalkeeper Niklas Landin. In the 2015-16 campaign, ‘Pasqui”s team lost 29-24 in the first leg at the Wunderino Arena and in the second leg Barça touched a comeback that finally stayed in limbo by two goals (33-30) with a great game and six goals from the Catalan Joan Cañellas for the ‘Zebras’.
anyway, maybe the most painful was the one experienced in the 2017-18 season against a Montpellier that surprised everyone and won the title by beating Nantes 26-32 in the final. Barça had been second in their group and Montpellier, first in D among the weakest teams.
