[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, ahead of the El Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Catalan police identified 45 people suspected of illegal ticket scalping around the Camp Nou. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-0 that night to claim its 29th La Liga title in club history. Catalan police launched a special operation involving both uniformed administrative officers and plainclothes officers to prevent and investigate illegal ticket scalping around the stadium. A total of 45 individuals linked to ticket scalping activities were identified, and 4 administrative fines were issued. In addition, during pre-match security operations, police handed out another 7 administrative fines for offences including drug possession and carrying prohibited weapons. Another 4 fines were issued for displaying banned symbols, carrying pyrotechnics and using counterfeit tickets. Meanwhile, Barcelona stadium authorities ejected 25 spectators from the ground for violating stadium regulations.
The editor believes that after the match, fans moved their celebrations to Plaça de Catalunya. The canal fountain was closed due to construction. No major incidents or arrests occurred throughout the celebrations, and fans remained largely rational in their behaviour. Nevertheless, police identified four individuals during preventive public order control operations.
