Chronicle The Camp Nou buries Barcelona
Narration and statistics This is how we live the game
The spectacle that was experienced in the stands of the
Camp Nou
when the referee pointed the way to the changing rooms was Dantesque.
There was a party.
And joy.
And big celebration.
But not from
Barça
, but from an
Eintracht team
that ruled both on the field and in the stands.
Thousands of German fans dyed the Barça stadium white.
No one wanted the party to end.
The game had long since ended and the players of the German team jumped on the pitch again and again to celebrate their passage to the semifinals, like the band that returns for an encore when the concert was already over.
"What has happened is an embarrassment that cannot be allowed. We have information, but we must process it and we will take measures.
What has happened is outrageous and shameful
," said the president on Barça TV, a
Joan Laporta
who also affected attitudes that were not civics of some German fans.
"There are situations that UEFA should not allow. We have compiled all the information and everything indicates that situations have occurred that are not desirable and should not have occurred," he stressed.
"As
a culé
, I feel ashamed of what I have seen.
I am very sorry. We will take measures and explain them, because this is very serious. It will never happen again
," he said.
30,000 Germans in Barcelona
The capture of the Camp Nou began several hours before the game.
Thousands of Eintracht fans, 30,000 according to the Mossos d'Esquadra, were escorted from the center to the stadium.
The vast majority entered, despite the fact that the club was only obliged to give up 5,000 tickets to the rival.
The fact that
more than 26,000 subscribers took a leave of absence allowed in summer
, the entity's campaign so that those who cannot go to the field free their tickets and the Easter holidays crystallized in a disastrous cocktail.
"It seemed like a final, with the field divided, with half an inning for each one.
One day when we needed a deafening atmosphere for ourselves, we didn't have it. It's a disappointment but it's not an excuse. It's a miscalculation and at home we don't this can happen to us
", said
Xavi Hernández
at the end of the duel.
"If there is failure, there is learning, but I don't see it that way. For me, it's a disappointment. The objective, which is to enter the Champions League, remains intact, but we also want to think about the League," the Barça coach told Movistar .
"We have pulled heroic, but it has been insufficient. We have not been able to generate what we had to generate in attack and it has been bump after bump," he settled.
