Barcelona’s fans started the game against Olympiacos in total silence and then chanted for liberty due to the recent events in Catalonia.
A Spanish judge on Thursday ordered prison without bail for eight former members of the regional government pending trial on charges of rebellion.
In all, Spain’s attorney general is seeking to prosecute 20 Catalan separatists, including Carles Puigdemont, the former leader of Catalonia, who refused to join the others summoned to court on Thursday in Madrid.
The reaction of Barca’s fans on Friday was the following, a continues chant with the word “Liberty”.
