Eintracht Frankfurt supporters have come under heavy criticism after throwing objects at Barcelona fans during their Champions League clash.
Defender Jules Kounde scored twice for the hosts as Barcelona mounted a comeback to defeat their German opponents 2-1.
It was also the club’s first Champions League encounter at the Nou Camp in over three years, and it meant the five-time European champions have picked up 10 points from six matches.
Barcelona are the fifth favourites to win the Champions League, behind the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
Eintracht Frankfurt fans bombard Barcelona supporters
Frankfurt supporters were sitting high in the stadium, protected by a wall of plexiglass screens, which are typically used to stop fans from falling.
The stadium layout meant the travelling fans were sitting above Barcelona supporters.
However, their return to their home ground on a European night was tarnished by the behaviour of some German supporters.
Videos started circulating online of the Eintracht Frankfurt supporters throwing missiles and drinks down at the Barcelona fans below.
The trouble became more intense after Kounde scored his second goal just three minutes after the equaliser.
Many home fans can be seen wearing their hoods as they attempt to protect themselves from a continuous bombardment of liquids.

Other videos show supporters clinging to the protective screens, banging them and shaking them with Barca fans sitting just inches away.
A Barcelona journalist wrote on Twitter: “Eintracht Frankfurt fans are relentlessly throwing beers, lighters and lit flares at Barça supporters during the whole game. You can’t go to a stadium and do this.”
It is reported that stadium announcements were being made in German in an attempt to try and stop the ongoing trouble.
Their actions are likely to be punished by UEFA.
Last season, Bayern Munich were sanctioned by UEFA in March after fans set off flares and other pyrotechnics during their Champions League Round of 16 match against Bayer Leverkusen.
The club received a fine of €500,000 and a suspended sentence with the threat of a fan ban.
This plague in football must come to an end. Sanction the club of these hooligans with a two-year ban on tickets for international matches. Only then can we eradicate these behaviors.
It’s your responsibility. @UEFA

Eintracht Frankfurt fans have history
In 2023, fans clashed with police ahead of their game against Napoli.
Car windows were smashed, chairs and objects were also thrown, as locals hid inside restaurants and establishments.
The two sides reunited in the Champions League in October, where Frankfurt supporters were banned from entering the stadium by local authorities.
The prefect of Naples issued an order prohibiting Napoli from selling approximately 2,500 tickets to travelling fans.
Frankfurt attempted to get the game moved to a neutral stadium, but to no avail.
Earlier this year, their contest against Bochum was delayed by an hour after they refused to take down banners that blocked emergency exits in the stadium.
