According to reporter Laia Cervello Herrero, as soon as Figo entered the VIP area before the match between Barcelona and PSG, he was booed violently by a group of Barcelona fans. In addition to the whistles and insults, many fans also shouted harsh curses aimed at the Portuguese football legend.
The chants were repeated almost every 5 minutes, creating a tense atmosphere in the stands. The camera lens was focused on Figo, but the former player remained calm and focused on watching the match.
Figo spent five years at Barcelona, scoring 45 goals and providing 91 assists in 249 games. However, his relationship with the club soured in the summer of 2000 when Figo left for arch-rivals Real Madrid for a record fee. Since then, he has become a “traitor” in the eyes of Catalan fans.
The outrage reached its peak in 2002, when Figo returned to Camp Nou with Real Madrid. During that match, an overzealous fan even threw a pig's head onto the pitch at him, creating one of the most shocking images in football history.
The final result at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys, Barcelona received a 1-2 defeat against PSG. This is also the Catalan club's third consecutive home defeat against PSG.
