Wednesday night, FC Barcelona left Parc des Princes with a victory, winning 3-2. Despite this, president Joan Laporta did not appreciate the reception from Paris.
PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi was not present at the official dinner between leaders. A first sign of discord with Barcelona. But what particularly annoyed Joan Laporta, the Catalan president, was looking at the stands.
The pricing policy of PSG regarding additional tickets for Barcelona employees and players’ families angered the executive. Unlike usual negotiation practices between clubs, the cost of each additional ticket was set at 600 euros for Camp Nou visitors.
To retaliate, Joan Laporta will also play a low blow to PSG during the return match. According to Sport and Catalunya Radio, PSG will have to bear high costs for guest tickets at the next encounter in Barcelona, next Tuesday. This rivalry demonstrates the palpable tension between the two teams, which are not hesitant to retaliate.
