Barcelona fans vandalize their own team bus, mistaking it for PSG

The atmosphere outside the stadium ahead of last night’s Champions League quarter-final clash between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain was electrifying, with passionate fans gathering to support their team. However, amidst the fervor, a regrettable incident occurred as some supporters mistakenly targeted the Barcelona team bus instead of PSG’s.

Ultras ignited flares and voiced their support for the players, but confusion led to a misguided attack on the club’s own bus. Barcelona players, including Marc Gui and Inaki Pena, were visibly taken aback by the unexpected onslaught of objects.

Amidst the charged atmosphere, former Barcelona player Usman Dembele, now with PSG, became a focal point of hostility from certain sections of the fanbase. Chants denouncing Dembele and banners expressing disdain, such as “Dembele, we don’t forget, Judas,” were prevalent. Additionally, some supporters resorted to displaying fake banknotes bearing the image of the French international.

Despite the passionate display of support for Barcelona, the incident involving the team bus and the negative sentiments towards Dembele marred what was otherwise a fervent pre-match atmosphere.
