Barcelona kicked off 2025 with a Copa del Rey Round of 16 match against Barbastro (4-0), a game eagerly awaited by the home fans. Before the match, the supporters were in high spirits, and some of their chants were aimed at mocking the opposition.
Details: On the same day that La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation rejected Barcelona's final attempts to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second half of the season, Barbastro fans also took the opportunity to make fun of the Catalan club. In a video filmed by Relevo journalist Alberto Martínez, they were heard singing: "Dani Olmo, where is he?"
Reminder: Since Olmo and Victor were not registered with the Spanish Football Federation, they were not eligible to play in the match against Barbastro. Barcelona still hopes both players will be available for the second half of the season, and after receiving another rejection on Saturday, the club confirmed it would explore legal ways to resolve the situation.
