Barcelona send explosive report to UEFA after Frankfurt fans’ destruction of Spotify Camp Nou | OneFootball

Barcelona have taken decisive action following the chaotic scenes created by Eintracht Frankfurt supporters during their visit to the Spotify Camp Nou. 

According to a recent report from SPORT, the Catalan club have formally submitted a detailed dossier to UEFA outlining the extensive damage caused inside the stadium, hoping that European football’s governing body will respond with firm disciplinary measures.

Chaos at Camp Nou

The club began by conducting a thorough inspection of the section allocated to the visiting German fans and what they found made for grim reading. 

Barriers separating the away supporters from the home crowd were smashed, entire rows of seats were ripped apart, and private restroom facilities assigned to the visiting section were vandalised. 

Several fixtures were left broken, and the area was plastered with stickers associated with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Staff working inside the stadium later confirmed that seven flares were ignited in the away section. 

Even worse, glasses filled with beer were thrown towards Barcelona socios seated in the lower stands, prompting outrage among club authorities and supporters alike.

After documenting everything from broken partitions to damaged toilets, Barcelona put together a complete inventory and sent it directly to UEFA. 

The club expect a strong response and are pushing for what they describe as an exemplary sanction against the Eintracht supporters involved. 

At the very least, they believe travelling restrictions should be imposed, something similar to the sanctions Barça fans have previously faced.

The incident also revived concerns over ticket resale. During their internal investigation, Barcelona found roughly 500 suspicious cases involving season tickets and member-purchased seats. 

Barcelona’s estimate is that nearly 1,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans travelled to the city without official tickets. 

With the report now in UEFA’s hands, Barcelona are awaiting a ruling, one they hope will set a precedent and protect the integrity of future European fixtures at the newly redeveloped Camp Nou.
