BARCELONA president Joan Laporta has clarified how thousands of Eintracht Frankfurt fans infiltrated the Nou Camp in last week's Europa League defeat.

The club did not sell tickets to German fans. Some supporters called for Laporta to resign while the club's ultras, the Grada d’Animacio (Animation Stand) group, who fill the section behind one of the goals, boycotted the La Liga match. In a press conference specifically held to address the Frankfurt fiasco, Laporta explained: "I apologise to those involved who did not feel comfortable in the Eintracht match due to the strong presence of German fans. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has insisted that a section of the club's fanbase - not the club itself - are to blame for almost 40,000 Eintracht Frankfurt supporters entering the Nou Camp in the Spanish side's humiliating 3-2 Europa League quarter-final defeat last week. There was a misuse of the subscriptions by a group of socios, who gave their subscriptions to German fans. "The control mechanisms on the website were outdated and insufficient.

But this was an era when delivering the La Liga title was the minimum and Barca could always aim for the sky when it came to Europe's most elite club trophy.

That's important and maybe we don't give enough value to what we have done," he added. "But we have to give value to La Liga, the eighth we have won in 11 years.

A major Barcelona fan group are boycotting the club's home clash against Cadiz in La Liga on Monday night following “the greatest infamy at our home”.

The winner will take on either Rangers or RB Leipzig in the final with a British side harbouring real ambitions of lifting the trophy at the end of the season. The fan group Grada d’Animacio has now said in a statement: “Last Thursday we experienced a day that will be marked forever as the greatest infamy at our home. It was more like a final with the stadium divided."

Barcelona's unbeaten run in La Liga, which began in the month of December, came to an end last night against Cadiz, who are battling relegation. Advertisement.

As for Garcia, he, too, has a lot of maturing to do before he can claim a spot at the back. Garcia and Lenglet have received plenty of chances in the recent games with Gerard Pique injured and Ronald Araujo often covering at right-back. Needless to say, his renewal will be a priority for the club. The absence of Gerard Pique came as a bigger dent to Xavi’s plans. They were often overrun by Cadiz’s counter attacks, leaving gaping holes open on the egde of the box. There was a stage in the season where there were barely enough first team players to play a La Liga clash, with most ruled out through injury or COVID. The manager has now lost Pedri to a season ending injury. From being one of the best set up teams in the world, they have returned into a shell of fear. He also created three chances, including one for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 90th minute. The coming month will be a test of Xavi’s managerial skill. However, with the team’s progress moving in retrograde now, the manager has a worrying period ahead. In the past month, Barcelona have constantly regressed on the field.

Clubs around Europe, including FC Barcelona, are reportedly set to renew their interest in Manchester City star Bernardo Silva this summer, according to new ...

While reports in 2021 suggested that Manchester City valued Bernardo Silva at €60 million, his superb performances this season have made him a nearly undroppable player in Pep Guardiola's star-studded squad, which could mean the Portugal international's price tag in the summer is raised significantly - if he is for sale. The midfielder is back in the news this week, as Fichajes have revealed that FC Barcelona will renew their interest in Bernardo Silva this summer, after being linked to him just over twelve months ago. In the end, a combination of no potential suitors keen on meeting Manchester City's valuation of their midfield gem, and the Etihad club's lack of a replacement lined up, saw Bernardo Silva remain a player for Pep Guardiola's side.
