Not only for Oliver Glasner the triumph at the Camp Nou in Barcelona was historic. Also for his two Upper Austrian assistant coaches, Michael Angerschmid and Ronnie Brunmayr, the experiences in Barcelona were unique. Angerschmid: “When you enter this stadium for the first time, even I can’t find the words. And then hours before kick-off everything was bathed in our Frankfurt white. I said straight away: ‘This will be a home game for us.’ And so it was.” This home advantage was certainly one of the decisive factors in the end. That’s why there will be an aftermath at FC Barcelona. Many fans called for President’s resignation Joan Laportabecause the club was organizationally “on the sand” – and could not prevent 25,000 instead of the 5,000 tickets intended for away fans from going to the away fans in the 80,000-capacity Camp Nou stadium.
Laporta: “I’m ashamed”
“I am ashamed and apologize. This will never happen again. We have information about what happened. It is outrageous and shameful. We will act and explain it,” says Laporta. When it comes to Barca games, it’s often common for subscription holders and members to sell their tickets to one game or another to make money. Against Frankfurt there were enough tickets for the price of 100 to 200 euros. (haha)
