Groups of Atlético Madrid supporters have over the last 24 hours made clear their bewilderment with the conditions they were subjected to during the club’s meeting with Barcelona.
Atlético of course made the trip to Catalunya’s capital on Tuesday evening, for a highly-anticipated La Liga showdown.
When all was said and done, the Rojiblancos were condemned to a 3-1 defeat, bringing to an end a fine recent stretch of form.
As alluded to above, though, their side’s eventual loss proved far from the only source of concern for the travelling contingent of Atléti fans on Tuesday.
Over the course of the day to date, a number of posts have appeared across social media, making clear the anger and disappointment of the latest visitors to the new Spotify Camp Nou.
As much comes amid claims that they were essentially treated like caged animals in Barcelona, forced to watch the fixture through a large windowed fence.
The conditions sparking the backlash against Barca and Joan Laporta alike are showcased below:
