Nico Williams was booed heavily by Barca fans at Camp Nou

For the second time in just two years, the Spain international has turned down a move to Barcelona after weeks of negotiations. And the Catalan crowd made their disappointment clear.

As soon as Nico stepped out to warm up against Barca in the 13th round of La Liga on the evening of November 22, tens of thousands of home fans booed. The climax occurred when the MC read out the starting lineup. Just hearing the words “Nico Williams”, the whole stadium immediately responded with a long whistle. That atmosphere continued to cover the entire minutes he was on the field.

Every time Nico touched the ball, a wave of protest came from the stands. He was jeered whether he was playing on the right or left wing. Some fans even sang mocking songs. When Nico missed a shot, the stands chanted: “Nico stay, Nico stay…”. In the 55th minute, he left the field to heavy boos.

The backlash began in the summer of 2025, when it seemed as though Nico Williams would join Barca after weeks of discussions. A year earlier, the deal had been revived but failed. However, Barca could not guarantee him a playing spot. Nico eventually decided to stay at San Mames, and not long after, Athletic Bilbao announced a contract extension for their star.

This is a big blow to Barca's transfer plans, which are hoping to improve their strength on both sides with a player with speed and versatility. Fans have high expectations for Nico Williams, even believing that he will become an important piece in the project to rejuvenate the squad.

Therefore, Nico's decision to turn his back on him made many Barca fans feel betrayed. And when they returned to Camp Nou, they chose to express their anger in the most direct way.

Nico’s performance in this match was not enough to appease the crowd. He played poorly and had to leave the field early, ending an unforgettable evening on a bad note. With the recent reaction, it can be seen that the story between Nico Williams and Barcelona is not yet over.

In this match, Barca also crushed Athletic Bilbao with a score of 4-0.
