“We assure you that these tickets were not sold in Germany. The club did not sell tickets to German fans. Those who bought these tickets handed them over to German fans, which is obvious,” Laporta told Reuters.

He said that Barcelona was not to blame for the fact that the tickets ended up in the hands of German fans. “We don’t want it to happen again and we will act. That’s why we’ve taken steps to make tickets non-transferable for international competitions. The club is not to blame for people breaking the rules. We did what we could to avoid it. But some people they will do it even if it damages the club and the fans who go to support the team at Camp Nou, “said Laporta.
