E-Noticies, @FCBarcelona_es Joan Laporta stands his ground, he doesn't want a repeat of 2022 and takes drastic measures
After the embarrassment of 2022, Laporta is making decisions to secure Camp Nou ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt's return
Joan Laporta has become the absolute protagonist of Barça's current affairs thanks to his recent public appearances and decisive decisions. The president has addressed several relevant issues for the club and has imposed measures that haven't gone unnoticed among fans. The latest decision is directly related to Camp Nou and has been intensely celebrated by Barcelona supporters.
In Barcelona, the main focus of interest is on the match that will be played tomorrow at the renovated culé stadium. Eintracht Frankfurt returns three years after leaving one of the most embarrassing images ever seen at the Catalan venue. That night, Camp Nou was filled with German fans dressed in white, creating a sense of absolute visiting invasion.
Laporta won't allow Barça to repeat that painful episode
The memory of that episode turned the institutional defeat into a wound that still remains very present within Barcelona supporters. The image of a Camp Nou dyed white provoked severe criticism of the club's management and left an indelible mark. Joan Laporta doesn't want a similar situation to happen again under any circumstances.
For that reason, he has announced strict measures aimed at ensuring total control of the atmosphere in the stadium. Barça officially announced that all available seats for the match against Eintracht Frankfurt will be reserved exclusively for members. This decision aims to shield Camp Nou environment and guarantee that the local fans keep their majority presence.
Barça explains the exact reason for Laporta's decision
The club's statement was especially clear in justifying the new access policy. "This decision is made with the aim of ensuring the safety of the culé fans and, at the same time, preventing a repeat of the episode experienced in April 2022. When a majority of the audience present at Spotify Camp Nou didn't belong to the local fans," said Barça. Laporta wanted to act before the problem could happen again
The measure has been interpreted as a bold move because it prioritizes the culé identity over any extra box office revenue. Joan Laporta intends to restore the feeling of strength at home and ensure a favorable environment for the team in such an important match. Barcelona supporters have replied positively and trust the president's management to prevent another humiliating episode like the one in 2022.
