Nico Williams booed again at Camp Nou as Barça fans show their resentment | OneFootball

Nico Williams endured another hostile reception at Camp Nou, the Athletic winger booed throughout his latest return on Thursday. According to El Correo, whistles began the moment he emerged to warm up.

The jeers grew when his name was read over the public address system, then persisted whenever he touched the ball.

The Spain international has become unpopular with a section of the Barça support after turning down moves to Barcelona in two consecutive summers. In 2024 he was a major figure in the market, the club pushed hard but he chose to stay at Athletic.

A year later, the story repeated, another attempt met with a no. That second refusal coincided with him extending his Athletic deal to 2035, with a release clause close to €90 million.

Since then, each visit to Camp Nou has felt like a test of resolve, with a sizeable section whistling from his first touch. His friendship with home star Lamine Yamal offered no shield.
