Cries of 'freedom' as record-breaking Barca march onsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #sports7 years ago

Barcelona continued their record-breaking start to a La Liga season by beating Sevilla 2-1 thanks to Paco Alcacer's double on Saturday in an atmosphere at the Camp Nou marked by the political upheaval in Catalonia. A huge Catalan flag and banners reading "justice" in Catalan and English were displayed before kick-off after eight ministers of the Catalan government deposed by Madrid were detained pending a possible trial for their roles in the drive for Catalan independence.

Loud cries of "freedom" also rang around Europe's largest stadium sporadically throughout the 90 minutes. barca_sevilla.jpgTwo other banners reading "Freedom for political prisoners" and "Europe shame on you" were held up by the Barca singing section behind one of the goals.
