It was announced and planned, but Barça did not know how to stop this German invasion, which was already conquering the city hours before, announcing what would be seen later at the Camp Nou. Races around the stadium collapsed as German fans took center stage. They were on their way to the Barça temple, where two hours before the start of the match they were installed in the highest area, which is traditionally reserved for visiting fans.
5,000 Eintracht fans settled there, regulated by UEFA, which allows 5% of the stadium’s capacity for the visiting team. Then, little by little, this white spot spread through the main grandstand, the sides and even the third tier, completing an image never seen before at the Camp Nou, where Barça played as if they were a visiting team.
The German fans took control of the stadium two hours earlier and also left two hours later, celebrating Barça’s elimination as if they were at home. And so they felt it because it was his for one night that caused Laporta’s embarrassment. And Barcelona.
