The Athletic has live coverage of Barcelona vs. Manchester United in Europa League play.
“I am ashamed of what I’ve seen. We will take action.”
These were the words of Barcelona president Joan Laporta after the second leg of last season’s Europa League quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt. In April 2022, his club had just suffered their second European embarrassment of the season.
The first was elimination at the Champions League group stage that autumn. The second saw them knocked out of the Europa League at a Camp Nou overflowing with away fans.
Walking around Barcelona the day before the game, you could see what was going to happen.
