In Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final, Frankfurt enjoyed a fantastic success, beating Barcelona 3-2 at the Camp Nou and thus securing their progress to the next stage with a 4-3 aggregate scoreline. The hordes of German fans who travelled to Spain were also able to celebrate. And a lot of them even made it directly to the stadium, far more than anyone would have expected.
It was already clear from the images circulating on social media before the game that a lot of fans had arrived in Barcelona with Frankfurt. There were reportedly over 30,000 of them.
When they started their march to the stadium, it was truly an admirable sight.
And at the Camp Nou it looked similar. Although the away fans were originally only given 5,000 tickets, speculation has it that nearly 30,000 made it to the stadium!
In fact, Frankfurt fans who arrived in Barcelona without tickets started buying them en masse from home supporters. In the final, the Camp Nou looked like the Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt’s stadium.
Laporta, the club president, was also very unhappy with the situation: “It is a shame that we had to go through this. This cannot happen again. We have information about what happened, now we need time to go through it. Then we will take the appropriate measures because this was a disgrace,” he told the club’s website.
Also unhappy with the situation in the stands were Barcelona’s ultras, who boycotted the opening 10 minutes of the second half in protest.
On the other hand, former great Czech talent and Frankfurt player Martin Fenin, who also made the trip to Barcelona, could be very happy.
