Las banderas independentistas toman el Camp Nou tras el llamamiento de Joan Laporta

Independentist flags took over Camp Nou on Thursday night, marking the light debut of FC Barcelona at home. Before the match kicked off, the announced "act of exaltation" featuring the independentist flag by Barça president Joan Laporta did not garner much attention in the stadium's surroundings. While many supporters were seen carrying or wearing Catalan flags, traditional blue-and-gold team colors and familiar chants dominated the atmosphere.

However, the red and yellow colors of the 10,000 flags distributed by the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) made a prominent appearance when the players of the first team stepped onto the field right before the match began and during the club's anthem. A cry of "Shame on Spain and Shame on the National Team" was heard from the stands at times.
