It was an image that shocked everyone. 30,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans attended the Camp Nou for the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, causing an almost embarrassing scenario for the culé fan. The German team ended up beating Barça and qualified for the semi-finals, kicking out Xavi Hernández’s team.

The scene had a lot of repercussion, and the president Joan Laporta called a press conference to explain what happened.

Eintracht’s next rival in the Europa League, West Ham, has already begun to move to avoid such a situation, and through a statement reported that would sanction its partners who resell tickets to german fans for this match.

The punishment, in fact, would be withdrawal of the season ticket for the remainder of the season and they will be banned from London Stadium for the 2022-23 campaignBesides the loss of “loyalty points” and benefits arising from the possession of the membership card.

Since this Tuesday, the English team has made available to members the possibility of buying two additional tickets. “Unfortunately, fans who live in Germany and do not have a booking history will not be able to purchase tickets for this match“, says the ‘hammer’ team in its statement.

“Los West Ham United supporters have been the cornerstone of our dream run in the UEFA Europa League this season,” they added.

The match between West Ham and Eintracht will be next Thursday, April 28 at 9:00 p.m. Hours after said statement, West Ham reported that tickets for this clash were already sold out.
