Barcelona is preparing to implement strict security measures in anticipation of a large influx of Eintracht Frankfurt fans before the two teams meet in the UEFA Champions League group stage at Spotify Camp Nou.

The matchup between Barcelona and Eintracht returns four years after their last encounter, which saw a significant presence of German fans at Camp Nou, where their behavior fell far short of the minimum standards of respect for the club and its supporters, prompting Barcelona to take stringent security measures to avoid a repeat of the situation.

Although the stadium's capacity will be reduced to about 60,000 spectators, the Catalan club expects a significant turnout from Eintracht fans, with a noticeable increase in flight ticket requests from Frankfurt to Barcelona, as well as a surge in inquiries from German fans about match tickets.

Barcelona is currently working to activate all security and organizational measures to ensure the smooth running of the match and protect the fans and facilities, drawing on past experience to prevent any violations during the anticipated encounter.
