A complete chaos witnessed the "Camp Nou" stadium - the day before yesterday, Thursday - in the victory of Eintracht Frankfurt over Barcelona 3-2 in the second leg of the European League quarter-final and its exclusion from the tournament.
More than 30,000 Frankfurt fans entered the Barcelona stadium, although it is assumed that there were only 5,000 fans of the German team in the Barca stronghold, yet it is believed that the Blaugrana raised 3 million euros by selling tickets to opponents fans.
So far little is known about how this situation occurred, although Barcelona have launched an investigation into the number of tickets that opposing team fans have been able to purchase.
However, Barcelona Vice-President Elena Forte announced that the club made an estimated profit of 3 million euros from the sale of match tickets.
"We have to open our eyes and meditate... I am ashamed of everything we experienced at the Camp Nou the day before yesterday Thursday," Fort declared.
What happened in the days leading up to the match was a huge increase in ticket sales, and Barcelona believed at the time that their fans were preparing to support the team towards the semi-finals of the European League.
Instead, these requests for tickets were from Frankfurt fans.
All this happened before Barcelona could realize what was happening and install an IP identifier to prevent tickets from being sold to computers trying to buy from Germany.

What a sight.
