In the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, Barca lost 2-3 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, and was 3-4 out of the two legs, missing the Europa League semi-finals. For Barca, the result of losing and exiting at home is difficult to accept. What's even more outrageous is that the Tangtang Norkamp Stadium was actually "attacked" by Eintracht Frankfurt fans!
La Porta
"It's a shame, a shame that can't come back. As a Barca fan, I feel humiliated. After the game, Barca president Laporta said. LaPorta is not ashamed of Barca's exit, but is unhappy with the fans...
30,000 Frankfurt fans
This Europa League night, the Camp Nou came with 79,468 spectators, with an attendance rate of 80%. When the camera is pointed at the stands, an interesting scene appears: the fans in white jerseys occupy half of the country! When Barca goalkeeper Ter Stegen came out to warm up, camp Nou booed.
Frankfurt fans
Obviously, the "content" of Frankfurt fans is too high. Marca pointed out that in a European match, UEFA will allocate a limited number of tickets to away fans, taking the Barca vs Frankfurt match as an example, there can only be about 5,000 tickets, which can be sold to away fans.
How many Frankfurt fans actually showed up? The statistics given by the media are 30458! 5,000 to 30,000, the Frankfurt fans at the Camp Nou stadium are huge!
You may wonder: where did Eintracht Frankfurt fans get their tickets?
"Marca" explained that there are two ways: first, buy directly from the hands of Barça season ticket holders, Barça fans as "scalpers" to make a profit; second, Frankfurt fans use the account of Barça season ticket holders to order tickets directly from the Internet, Barça fans can still make a profit.
When Barça officials found that there was an anomaly, they cut off the channels for online ticket purchases. However, it was too late, and a large number of Frankfurt fans had already bought tickets. These operations have nothing to do with Barça officials. Therefore, Barca president Laporta was heartbroken and ashamed of what some fans had done.
In this Europa League battle, there was a strange scene: Barca played at Camp Nou, but there was a deafening boo from the away team, and the home stadium became an away game! For Barca fans, it's really a "long time to live".
Barca die-hard stands fans exited in protest
There are also many hardcore Barca fans who protest against the fans who resold tickets, believing that this is a trampling on Barça's football culture. At half-time in this game, Barca's die-hard fans on the side of the goal collectively withdrew, which was dissatisfaction, anger and protest against the strange atmosphere of Camp Nou.
