In a high-class game in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, FC Barcelona defeated Paris St.-Germain 3-2, thus establishing a good starting position for the second leg next week at the Camp Nou (April 16).
But off the pitch, the Catalans’ fans caused frightening moments.
FC Barcelona fans with Hitler salute
In a video on X (formerly Twitter), the away block of Barça fans can be seen, apparently filmed by a PSG supporter. The footage shows several men making monkey gestures and even the Hitler salute.
Absolutely scandalous scenes that represent hatred and racism, but definitely not football. A penalty from UEFA could now follow.
The salute of hatred The right arm stretched out, with the palm of the hand at the level of the eyes, often with a jagged, repetitive movement: The “German salute” of the NSDAP became the official greeting in Nazi Germany after the National Socialists came to power in 1933.

So a lot of excitement is guaranteed – hopefully without any ugly hate scenes from the fans…
