Camp Nou construction workers accused of helping smuggle flares for Eintracht Frankfurt ultras | Barca Universal

"Despite the strictest security controls implemented for the match, including full bag checks, reinforced steward lines and police dogs trained to detect explosive materials, Frankfurt ultras still managed to smuggle eight flares into the away section. According to the report, the German ultras were able to bring numerous flares into the stadium, several of which were lit in the stands and even thrown toward Barcelona supporters."

"Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the incident has raised serious concerns over how such dangerous material bypassed multiple layers of security. The away fans also threw cups, coins and other objects, turning the section into a volatile scene despite repeated announcements over the stadium PA system, pleading for calm. These warnings, however, were ignored. At one point, Frankfurt ultras even broke through the glass barrier that separates the tiers, putting the safety of Barça fans below at risk."

"Now, suspicion has turned inward, with Camp Nou security staff believing that Turkish workers employed by construction company Limak may have helped facilitate the breach. Internal sources admitted the scale of the issue, explaining that "Of the 2,500 Germans, only about 30 had been identified as potentially violent," meaning thousands entered with no suspicion attached to them. But the most explosive allegation concerns the role of Limak construction workers stationed around the Camp Nou renovation site."

Away fans also hurled cups, coins and other objects and at one point broke a glass barrier between tiers. No injuries were reported, but questions remain about how dangerous items bypassed multiple security layers. Internal sources said only about 30 of 2,500 Germans were flagged as potentially violent, and suspicion now centers on Turkish Limak construction workers near the renovation site.
