Incidents at the arrival of the delegation of Atletico Madrid at the “Camp Nou”, for the Champions League duel with Barcelona. Some home fans threw stones at the rojiblanco coach and broke two windows.
The atmosphere around the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was tense, especially since the wound of the Catalans' elimination from the Spanish Cup has not completely closed.
More than an hour before the match started, as the coach with the Atletico delegation approached the Camp Nou stadium, some Barcelona fans went wild.
Incidents towards Camp Nou: Barcelona supporters threw stones at Atletico's coach
From the group of several hundred waiting for the teams to arrive, a few people threw stones at the rojiblanco bus, managing to break two windows on the side opposite the driver. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Similar scenes happened during Atletico's previous visit to the Camp Nou, so coach Diego Simeone couldn't help himself in the pre-match interview when he was asked about these reprehensible actions.
“Just like every time we come here. Society remains the same and it's a society problem,” the Argentine coach said before the match, according to Movistar.
