#5 We are all Barcelona

Barcelona v Real Betis - La Liga
#TotSomBarcelona

The Camp Nou had an official attendance of 56,480 as against to the 99,000 that it can handle on a typical big game day. The sparse attendance was because of the terrorist attacks that took place in Barcelona a couple of days ago, resulting in the death of more than 14 people, while also injuring more than 100 others.

Barcelona had already announced that the shirts of the players will carry the name of the city instead of the player's name, as a tribute to the victims of the attack. The two teams wore black armbands while a tifo reading "No-one can ever break us" was also unfurled.

As always, football was united against an act of terrorism, while chants of "We are not afraid" reverberated around the stadium after the minute's silence.

In the end, #TotSomBarcelona - We are all Barcelona
