The independence flags take over the Camp Nou following Joan Laporta's call to action

The Camp Nou stadium was filled with estelada flags, the symbol of Catalan independence, during FC Barcelona's first home league match. Around 10,000 flags had been distributed by the Assemblea Nacional Catalana. As the players took to the field, the flags were visible and some fans in the stands shouted "Puta España y puta Selección". The flags were largely absent from the areas surrounding the stadium before the match, despite an announcement by FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta.
