To make things worse, their arch-rivals Real Madrid won the last 3 editions of the competition, making the Camp Nou faithful desperate for European success.
Moreover, the way the club crashed out of the tournament last season despite earning a 4-1 advantage over Roma in the first leg of the quarter-final encounter really caused a lot of provocations.
