Pitch invader halts Barcelona match on the weekend although game was played in a closed stadium

Sport Joe story

In what can only be described as tense times in the catalan capital, the Barcelona higher ups decided to play this past weekend's match in an eerily empty Camp Nou. Seeing the "Mes que un club" uncovered while Barcelona tik-taka'd all over Las Palmas was as rare of a sight as you'd expect to see in the football world. In protest to the violence of Catalonian independence, we see the key pillar of this proud region joining in on the fight for the protection of their people on this quest for independence. A rare sight of sport and politics combining together and boy did it make for strange bedfellows on the weekend. In the face of all this, the story from the match was not the 3-0 result but more importantly a fan invaded the pitch although ..... there were no fans allowed in the stadium. Like zero. Less than one. A fully closed stadium had a pitch invader.

Someone in the Camp Nou will get fired for this. I mean they have to. To get into one of the country's biggest stadium while the city is on lockdown AND find your way onto the pitch. Takes balls to try and some unprecedented level of incompetence from the stadium staff. I bet Jordi (all guys from Barcelona are named Jordi) was standing guard on the pitch for this game thinking "feet up today boys, no one in the crowd, enjoy the match." We've all had those days walking into to work thinking, boss is out of town, lets go out for a beer or two at lunch. Its a friday in the summer, clients are on vacation. The day we've all dreamt of sitting in the office getting hounded on the daily. Sitting at lunch enjoying a nice IPA watching reruns of the 9 am sportscenter having a burger. Boom the boss walks by. You're fucked. You know you're fucked. You try to hide but you know you got got. That's what happened to our friend Jordi here. Feet up on the sideline watching the blaugrana and his guy Messi do their magic. What a dream. What could be better.

"Can't have a fan on the pitch with no fans in the stadium" he thought boastfully.

Welp Jordi, you just let a fan on the pitch while there were NO FANS in the stadium. It was a good run, bub. You're fucked. Marcelita will not be happy about this one.
