Unexpected Presence: Bartomeu’s Surprise Appearance at Barcelona’s Barbastro Clash Sparks Fan Reactions

While the scoreline in Barcelona’s 3-2 victory against Barbastro wasn’t the most shocking aspect, the unexpected presence of the club’s ex-president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, in the stands added a surprising twist to the narrative. Even with the anticipation of the Catalans facing challenges against the fourth-division side and Xavi experimenting with Vitor Roque on the left, Bartomeu’s attendance stole the spotlight.

Barcelona fans took to social media to express their surprise and, in some cases, disapproval:

Mr Yartel: “What the hell is Bartomeu doing there!!!!”

MKB: “Bartomeu laughing, the INTERPOL will catch you one day”

Barca stuff: “Can’t believe some fans are asking Bartomeu for pictures… WHERE IS THE SHAME?”

Pain x: “If I was at the stadium Bartomeu won’t leave in one piece.”

Anabella: “This is the perfect opportunity to arrest him”

The unexpected sighting of the former president has ignited a range of emotions among the fanbase, from disbelief to calls for accountability.
