Dozens of Barcelona fans protested outside the Camp Nou stadium today, Monday, and raised slogans against the club's president, Joan Laporta, due to the incidents in the team's match against Eintracht Frankfurt in the European League.
Barcelona was eliminated from the quarter-finals of the European League after losing at home to Frankfurt 3-2 in a match attended by 30,000 fans of the German club, which caused a strange scene in which Barcelona seemed to be playing outside its stadium.
Before the Catalan club's match today, Monday, against its guest Cadiz in the Spanish League, a number of fans gathered in front of the Camp Nou stadium, and raised slogans against Laporta.

The protesters criticized the team's management, which led to the German fans' invasion of the team's stronghold last Thursday.
According to clips posted on social media, the protesters chanted slogans including "Barcelona yes, Laporta no" and "No.. Porta is a liar.. Laporta is a fraud." A number of protesters also demanded the resignation of Laporta.

Barcelona was shocked after leaving the European League, which is betting on crowning its title to save the current season after exiting the King's Cup, and rival Real Madrid approaching the league title.
