Why are Real Madrid jerseys banned at Camp Nou during El Clasico?

Apparently, Barcelona haverestricted access to Camp Nou for certain Real Madrid fansfor the El Clasico.According to the Catalans’ official website, Los Blancos’supporters will be allowed inside the stadium, but only under one specific circumstance.Anyone interested in attending the Clasico on the specified day may find a concise message by visitingBarca’s ticketing area.

“The purchase for fans of Real Madrid is not allowed. Access will be denied for fans wearing Real Madrid’s clothing or emblems.” To comply with the rules of Law 19/2007 from 11 July, which was created “against violence, racism, xenophobia, and intolerance in sport and its implementing regulation, as well as the Internal Regulation of the FC Barcelona sports venue,” the Catalan side havetaken this step.

They guarantee that any Madrid enthusiasts trying to enter Camp Nou in the home end while wearing away-team apparel or emblems will be turned away, and that in no event will they provide a refund for what is often the most expensive ticket of the season.It’s likely that the Whites’ fans will receivea limited quantity of away tickets, which, as perBarca’s website, may only be acquired by fans in the Spanish capital directly from the club.

Rather than being a direct slap in Real Madrid’s face, this is done to prevent a repetition of last year’s UEFA Europa League, when around 30,000 visiting Eintracht Frankfurt supporters turned Camp Nou into their ‘own’ stadium by purchasing home-end tickets and borrowing those of season ticket holders.
