The match between Barcelona and PSG last night (Wednesday) provided a football show with beautiful goals, a 2:3 victory for the Catalans over the exes Ousmane Dembele and Luis Enrique and also a show for the fans at Parc de France. But there was also the ugly side with the racist statement of Mono Burgos against Lamin Yamal and it did not end there.
The police in France announced that they arrested two Barcelona fans who were recorded waving their hands during the match. In a tweet about the message, the police also shared the documentation that came up during the game.
In the video, the same fans are seen performing the Nazi salute several times at one of the stands that housed PSG fans, it was reported in France. They also racially teased the local audience when they imitated monkeys.

It should be noted that there were 2,000 Barça fans in the Parc de France. At first the game was assessed by the police forces as low risk, but this changed after the threat of the ISIS organization to carry out attacks on the Champions League matches, which did not happen in the end.
By the way, in the past Barça’s extreme ultras organization, the Boychos Noys, were very dominant in the stands at the team’s games and were also known for their racist behavior, including raised hand salutes. Juan Laporte led a move to eradicate the phenomenon from the Camp Nou in his first term and it is possible that now Barca will once again have to deal with the issue.
Wow: the crazy setting of PSG fans
