It was chaotic evening at the Camp Nou as over 30,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans gained entry into Barcelona‘s stadium, despite the fact only 5,000 of the German support should have been inside, yet Los Cules are believed to have raised three million euros through the sale of tickets to opposition fans.
Little is yet known about how the situation came about, although Barcelona have launched an investigation into just how many tickets were able to be bought by away supporters.
However, Elena Fort, the vice president of Barcelona, has announced that the club has made around three million euros in profit from the ticket sales of the match.
“We have to open our eyes and reflect,” Fort declared.
“I feel ashamed at everything we experienced at the Camp Nou on Thursday.”
What occurred in the days leading up to the match was a massive boost in sales for tickets across the ground, with Barcelona believing their own fans were gearing up to support the team towards a European semi-final.
Instead, these requests were being made by Frankfurt fans, all before the club could realise what was happening and install an IP identification tool to prevent the sale of tickets to German computers.
